1955 Map of Mindego Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

The Santa Cruz Mountains dominate this 1950s survey of the ridge country along the San Mateo Co and Santa Clara Co line. Winding roads such as Alpine Road and Skyline Boulevard provide access to a landscape defined by cattle ranches and dense creek drainages, including the Big Dipper Ranch and Pony Tracks Ranch. The map captures a moment when rural life was still evident through landmarks like the Purisima School and Alpine School, both noted as abandoned by the mid-century.
