1943 Map of Los Gatos
USGS Topo · Published 1943About this map
The Santa Cruz Mountains and the southern Santa Clara Valley dominate this 1940s landscape, surveyed just before the post-war suburban transformation of the region. The map reveals a high density of small mountain settlements and specialized retreats, such as Holy City, Aldercroft Heights, and the Lovely Glen Resort, many of which were served by the Southern Pacific railroad line snaking through the canyons. Notable institutional landmarks like Alma College and the Loma Prieta Lookout stand out against the steep terrain of Mt Umunhum and El Sombroso.
