About this map

Coyote Creek carves a path through this developed portion of Santa Clara County, anchoring a landscape where established neighborhoods and academic institutions meet the foothills of the Diablo Range. The map details the residential expansion surrounding Evergreen and Edenvale, while naming early settlements such as Seven Trees, Lick, and Alamitos. This 2012 survey illustrates the concentration of educational and recreational hubs, from the National Hispanic University and Evergreen Valley College to the greens of the Pleasant Hills Golf Course.

Automotive and aviation culture are well-represented by large-scale landmarks like the Reid-Hillview Airport of Santa Clara County, the San Jose Speedway, and the Capitol Drive-In. Water management is visible through the Evergreen Canal and numerous creeks like Silver Creek and Thompson Creek that drain from Montgomery Hill toward the valley floor. Historical local landmarks such as Oak Hill Memorial Park and Calvary Cemetery provide significant points of interest for genealogists and local historians.
