2018 Map of San Jose West

About this map

The Guadalupe River and Los Gatos Creek converge in this densely developed corridor of the Santa Clara Valley, illustrating the 21st-century footprint of the South Bay. This area is anchored by major educational and civic institutions, including Santa Clara Univ and San Jose State Univ, which sit amidst a grid of long-established neighborhoods like Willow Glen and Burbank. The landscape reflects the transition from early agricultural origins to a major metropolitan hub, visible in the industrial layouts near College Park and the expansive grounds of the Norman Y Mineta San Jose International Airport. Local history is preserved in sites such as the Santa Clara Catholic Cem and Mission City Memorial Park, while the suburban expansion reaches toward the foothills near Los Gatos and Monte Sereno.
