About this map

The hills of the Santa Cruz Mountains meet the suburban expansion of the Santa Clara Valley in this detailed 2012 study. The town of Los Gatos serves as the focal point, where the urban grid of streets like University Ave and Blossom Hill Rd gives way to the winding paths of the southern highlands. Notable landmarks including Domaine M Marion Winery and Guadalupe College sit nestled near the base of Saint Josephs Hill, illustrating the transition from residential centers to protected open spaces and viticulture.

Further south, the landscape is defined by the critical water infrastructure of Lexington Reservoir and Guadalupe Reservoir. These bodies of water are surrounded by a series of smaller communities and historic locales, such as Holy City, Aldercroft Heights, and the site of Wrights. The map reaches its highest elevations at peaks like Mount Umunhum and Mount Thayer, marking the crest of the Sierra Azul range and the rugged canyons of Austrian Gulch and Moody Gulch.
