About this map

Golden Gate National Recreation Area dominates this section of the Santa Cruz Mountains, where the modern infrastructure of the San Francisco Peninsula meets densely wooded canyons and ridges. The map reveals the intricate water system of the region, featuring the Upper Crystal Springs Reservoir and the subterranean path of the Hetch Hetchy Aqueduct, which surfaces briefly at the Pulgas Tunnel. Residential growth is concentrated along the eastern foothills in communities like Emerald Lake Hills and Woodside Glens, while the western slopes remain defined by rugged gulches and ridges.

Genealogists and local historians can find several smaller, distinct locales such as Grabtown, Adobe Corner, and Sky Londa. The terrain is marked by numerous historic transit corridors, including Old Canada Rd and the Purisima Creek Trail, which navigate the deep cuts of Whittemore Gulch and Grabtown Gulch. Higher elevations like Skeggs Point and Teague Hill offer clear landmarks within the expansive protected greenbelt.
