1996 Map of Loma Prieta

USGS Topo · Published 1999

About this map

The San Andreas Fault Zone dominates this 1996 view of the borderlands between Santa Clara and Santa Cruz counties. The landscape is defined by its deep canyons and elevated peaks, notably Loma Prieta and the Sierra Azul range. This survey reveals a complex network of waterways, including Uvas Creek and Corralitos Creek, which carve through the terrain. Evidence of the region’s earlier land divisions is preserved in the Pueblo Lands of San Jose and the Los Corralitos boundaries. While largely defined by its natural topography, the map records established routes such as Highland Way and Buzzard Lagoon Road that traverse the ridges. Settlements like Loma Chiquita are sparse, indicating the area's role as a transition between more developed valleys and the rugged interior of the Santa Cruz Mountains.
