1955 Map of Loma Prieta

USGS Topo · Published 1994

About this map

Loma Prieta stands as the dominant summit in this portion of the Santa Cruz Mountains, a landscape defined by the dramatic tectonic seam of the San Andreas Fault Zone. The terrain is deeply incised by a network of gulches and canyons, including Eureka Gulch and Uvas Canyon, which drain into the significant watershed of Corralitos Creek. Human settlement is concentrated in the south near Corralitos, where Salesian Sch and the orchard-filled Pleasant Valley suggest an agricultural economy distinct from the wilder northern slopes. Public lands and historic property lines shape the region, from the Pueblo Lands of San Jose in the north to the protected expanse of The Forest of Nisene Marks State Park in the west. This survey illustrates the contrast between established mountain communities like Sveadal and the high, isolated ridges of Croy Ridge.
