1955 Map of Loma Prieta

About this map

Loma Prieta dominates the northern skyline of this mid-century survey, standing as a critical communications hub with its Lookout Sta, Microwave Sta, and Television Relay Sta. The landscape is a complex network of deep canyons and ridges within the Santa Cruz Mountains, where the border between Santa Clara Co and Santa Cruz Co winds through the terrain. Evidence of early twentieth-century rural life is scattered throughout the valleys, including the Sveadal settlement and the Eureka Sch (Aband) near the intersection of Eureka Canyon Road and Rider Road.
