2018 Map of Morgan Hill

About this map

Morgan Hill and the surrounding Santa Clara Valley are depicted here at a point of high density, where the sprawl of San Jose transitions into the foothills of the Diablo Range and the Santa Cruz Mountains. This map captures the complex water management and transport infrastructure essential to the region, including the Santa Clara Conduit and the reservoir at Anderson Lake. The terrain is defined by deep cuts such as Metcalfe Canyon and San Bruno Canyon, which hem in the narrow corridor used by the Monterey Hwy. Between the established centers of Madrone and Coyote, the landscape retains traces of its agricultural past even as suburban development and institutional sites like Gavilan College expand. The drainage of Coyote Creek and Llagas Creek provides a natural framework for the valley floor, contrasting with the steep elevations of Henderson Ridge to the east.
