1955 Map of Morgan Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Southern Pacific tracks anchor the valley floor in this mid-century survey of the Santa Clara Valley, running parallel to a grid of agricultural avenues like Orchard Ave and Live Oak Ave. The landscape is a study in transition, where established ranching and orchards around Madrone and Morgan Hill meet the massive water infrastructure of the Anderson Lake and the Chesbro Reservoir. These reservoirs, along with the Abandoned Canal and various Pits, illustrate the intensive water management required for the region's development.
