2021 Map of San Jose West

About this map

The Guadalupe River and Los Gatos Creek anchor this highly developed landscape of the Silicon Valley region. The map details a dense urban and suburban corridor where historic educational institutions like Santa Clara University and San Jose State University are surrounded by established neighborhoods and modern infrastructure. Civic history is particularly well-represented through the concentration of legal landmarks, including the Santa Clara County Old Courthouse and the Santa Clara County Hall of Justice. Toward the southern and western margins, the terrain transitions into the foothills near Los Gatos and Saratoga, marked by features like Vasona Junction and the Los Gatos Creek Trl. From the commercial activity near Norman Y Mineta San Jose International Airport to the quiet grounds of the Santa Clara Catholic Cem, the map documents the complex layering of municipal boundaries and transportation arteries like El Camino Real.
