1961 Map of Mindego Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The San Andreas Fault Zone defines the structural orientation of this Santa Cruz Mountains landscape, carving a deep northwest-southeast trench that separates the ridge systems. High peaks like Mindego Hill and Black Mountain overlook a complex network of private ranches and institutional lands, including the San Francisco Log Cabin Boys School and the Mt Helen Childrens Home. The presence of several named holdings such as Pony Tracks Ranch, Skyline Ranch, and Horseshoe Ranch illustrates the transition of these uplands from traditional agricultural use toward recreational and residential estates.
