Holy City and Patchen lie along the mountain passes of the Santa Cruz Mountains, marking a transition from the urban sprawl of San Jose into the steep, densely wooded canyons above Los Gatos. This 2015 survey details the complex geography of the San Andreas Fault, which cuts through the southern portion of the map near Lexington Hills and Aldercroft Heights. The landscape is defined by its water infrastructure and high peaks, with the Lexington Reservoir and Guadalupe Reservoir capturing runoff from heights like Mt Umunhum and El Sombroso. In the north, the established residential patterns of Monte Sereno and Shannon give way to the rugged terrain of Sierra Azul, where the infrastructure of Summit Rd traces the ridgeline boundary between Santa Clara and Santa Cruz counties.
