2012 Map of Santa Cruz
USGS Topo · Published 2012About this map
Santa Cruz is depicted here as a thriving coastal hub where the urban grid meets the Pacific shoreline and the Santa Cruz Mountains. The map highlights the unique circular street layout of The Circles near the coast, contrasting with the sprawling University of California - Santa Cruz Campus to the north. Historical sites like the Evergreen Cem and the Independent Order of Oddfellows Cem sit on the edge of the city's residential districts, while the iconic Santa Cruz Municipal Wharf and the Santa Cruz Looff Carousel and Roller Coaster define the beachfront economy. To the west, the landscape shifts abruptly to agricultural and protected lands, including Wilder State Park and the Agroecology Program Farm, showing the area's transition from academic and residential development to rugged coastal gulches like Peasley Gulch and Old Dairy Gulch.
