2015 Map of Santa Cruz OE W

About this map

Sand Hill Bluff and the adjacent shoreline of the Pacific Ocean dominate this coastal survey of western Santa Cruz County. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the marine environment to the coastal terraces and rising hills, where several small watercourses including Yellow Bank Cr, Laguna Cr, and Majors Cr cut through the terrain toward the sea. The settlement of Gordola sits near the mouth of these drainages, connected by a network of local routes such as Coast Rd and Scaroni Rd. This 2015 edition provides a contemporary look at a storied stretch of the Central California coast, detailing the placement of landmarks like Table Rock and named beaches from Bonny Doon Beach to the distinctive Red, White and Blue Beach.
