1995 Map of Watsonville East

USGS Topo · Published 1998

About this map

Pajaro Valley agriculture and the complex geography of the San Andreas Rift Zone define this landscape on the border of Santa Cruz, Monterey, and Santa Clara counties. In the mid-1990s, the fertile basin around Watsonville supported a dense network of water bodies including College Lake, Kelly Lake, and Lake Tynan. To the east, the terrain rises sharply into the Las Animas Mountains, where Mt Madonna County Park overlooks Hecker Pass. The map documents a significant intersection of transport and community history, featuring the Southern Pacific rail lines at Watsonville Junction and Aromas. Genealogical interests are served by the inclusion of Pajaro Valley Memorial Park, St Francis Cem, and several local institutions like Salsipuedes School. Smaller nodes of settlement like Johnston Corner and the historical location of Thompsons Grove provide specific points of reference within the valley floor's rural and residential mix.
