1957 Map of Santa Cruz

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Monterey Bay serves as the focal point for this mid-century survey, anchoring a coastal landscape that transitions from the fishing and tourism hubs of Monterey and Santa Cruz into the deep interior of the San Joaquin Valley. The map illustrates a California in the midst of post-war expansion, where the agricultural corridors of the Salinas River valley connect established towns like Salinas and Soledad with the rising oil and gas interests near Coalinga and Avenal.
