1961 Map of Mindego Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Santa Cruz Mountains terrain defines this early 1960s landscape, where the rugged ridges of Mindego Ridge and Monte Bello Ridge separate dense forest from emerging peninsula settlements. The presence of the Coal Mine and the Page Mill (Site) points to the area's transition from early industrial extraction to conservation and residential use. Development is concentrated near Portola Valley and Los Trancos Woods, while larger institutional tracts like the San Francisco Log Cabin Boys School and Portola State Park preserve massive swaths of the watershed. Notable land grants like La Purisima Concepcion and El Corte de Madera remain visible in the property boundaries, anchoring the region's ranching history through landmarks such as Pony Tracks Ranch and Horseshoe Ranch.
