1953 Map of San Jose West

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Santa Clara County’s post-war transition is evident across this landscape, where the agricultural past of the Santa Clara Valley meets rapid mid-century suburban expansion. The urban centers of Santa Clara and San Jose are densely detailed, showing the concentration of civic life around Washington Square, the Post Office, and City Hall. Educational and religious institutions anchor the growing neighborhoods, from the historic grounds of Bellarmine College Preparatory and the Carmelite Monastery to dozens of local schools like Jefferson Union Sch and Willow Glen High Sch.
