Los Gatos and the surrounding Santa Cruz Mountains appear here in a period of modern suburban density intersecting with the steep, rugged terrain of the South Bay. The map captures the complex geography where the San Andreas Fault traverses the landscape near Holy City and Lexington Hills. This area is defined by the sharp transition from the residential street grids of Saratoga, Monte Sereno, and San Jose to the winding mountain roads and protected peaks like Mt Umunhum and El Sombroso. Notable water infrastructure including Lexington Reservoir and Vasona Reservoir anchors the drainage systems of Los Gatos Creek and Guadalupe Creek. For those interested in local history, the map includes the isolated mountain settlements of Aldercroft Heights, Redwood Estates, and Patchen Pass, along with the Los Gatos Cemetery and Tunnel Number 1 near the Santa Cruz County line.
