1953 Map of San Jose East

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The expanding urban edge of San Jose meets the agricultural valleys and foothills of the Santa Teresa Hills in this mid-century survey. The landscape is a mix of established community institutions and the emerging infrastructure of a growing city, featuring the County Fairground, the San Jose Speedway, and aviation activity at Reids Hillview Airport. Education is a clear priority in the developing neighborhoods, with numerous schools such as James Lick High Sch and Franklin McKinley Sch appearing as anchors for local families.
