1961 Map of San Jose East

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

San Jose spreads toward the eastern foothills in this early 1960s snapshot, showing a landscape in rapid transition from agricultural tracts to suburban neighborhoods. The city's eastern reaches are anchored by the Alum Rock district and the vast Pueblo Lands of San Jose, where the grid of new streets meets the winding courses of Coyote Creek and Silver Creek. Regional recreation and industry define the area, from the County Fairgrounds and San Jose Speedway to the extractive history visible at the Hillsdale Mine and the New North Almaden Mine in the southern hills.
