1955 Map of San Juan Bautista

About this map

Mission San Juan Bautista serves as the focal point of this region, surrounded by Hist Monuments and the San Juan Cem at the foot of the Gabilan Range. The landscape is defined by the sharp geology of the San Andreas Rift Zone, which cuts northwest through the terrain, separating the northern valley floor from the rising peaks of the Cienega Del Gabilan. To the south, Fremont Peak and Rocky Ridge dominate the skyline above the Monterey County line, while Gabilan Acres marks a smaller pocket of development near Gabilan Creek. Local infrastructure is visible in the network of rural roads like Cole Road and Prescott Road, and the presence of several quarries and tailings piles indicate the area's mineral industry. Education and community life are represented by the Lagunita Sch near Lagunita Lake, situated along the western edge of the quadrangle.
