About this map

P A J A R O V A L L E Y serves as the focal point for this mid-century topographic record, where the Pajaro River snakes through fertile bottomlands toward the sea. The industrial and transit landscape is dominated by the Southern Pacific railroad infrastructure, most notably at Watsonville Junction, a critical node for California's coastal agriculture. The map captures the complex interaction between valley floor cultivation and the rising S A N T A C R U Z M O U N T A I N S, where ridges like Casserly Ridge and deep canyons such as Fern Canyon hem in the developed basin.
