1954 Map of Three Sisters

About this map

The rugged boundary between Santa Clara and San Benito counties is defined by the high crests of Dunne Ridge and Chimney Ridge. In this mid-century landscape, the transition from the steep canyons of the Diablo Range to the agricultural flats of the Hollister Valley is marked by historic land grants and family holdings. Significant ranching operations like Hawkins Ranch, Sparling Ranch, and Rancho Las Cimas are found tucked into the foothills, while the Fairview Sch stands as a local landmark near the valley floor.
