1997 Map of Mindego Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1999

About this map

Santa Cruz Mountains terrain dominates this landscape south of Portola Valley, where steep ridges and deep gulches have historically limited dense development to the margins. The topography reveals a complex network of protected lands, including Portola State Park and Foothills Park, which preserve the watershed of numerous creeks like Pescadero Creek and Stevens Creek. One of the most distinctive cultural features is Coal Mine Ridge, a name that points to early resource extraction in an area now largely defined by its preservation and its proximity to the suburban growth of Los Altos Hills.
