1969 Map of Sherman Peak

About this map

Sherman Peak rises as a central landmark within this portion of the Coast Ranges, anchoring a landscape defined by the long spine of Juniper Ridge and the Bald Mountain range. The survey captures a network of intermittent water sources vital to this arid terrain, including Moonshine Spring, Hollyhock Spring, and Freitas Spring. Human activity is concentrated along the northern and southern edges, where Los Gatos Creek County Park and a small cemetery near Los Gatos Creek mark early local history.
