1961 Map of San Jose West

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The University of Santa Clara and the adjacent Mission Santa Clara de Asis Historical Monument anchor this detailed survey of the mid-century Santa Clara Valley. As the region transitioned from its agricultural roots toward an increasingly urbanized landscape, the map documents the expansive growth of Santa Clara, San Jose, and Campbell. The Southern Pacific rail lines and historic thoroughfares like El Camino Real and The Alameda define the transport corridors connecting these burgeoning communities. Along the Guadalupe River and Los Gatos Creek, the pattern of residential tracts reveals the rapid postwar development of areas like Willow Glen and Cambrian Park. For local historians, the sheet identifies numerous neighborhood schools such as Abraham Lincoln High Sch and Wilcox High Sch, alongside landmark institutions like the Santa Clara Cemetery and the Municipal Rose Garden.
