1953 Map of Woodside
USGS Topo · Published 1960About this map
The San Andreas Rift Zone forms a distinct northwest-southeast corridor through this section of the Peninsula, separating the forested heights of the Santa Cruz Mountains from the developing residential tracts of San Carlos and Redwood City. In the early 1950s, the rural character of Woodside is still defined by large estates and winding roads like Skyline Blvd. Cultural and institutional landmarks appear throughout the hills, including the Pulgas Water Temple near the Upper Crystal Springs Reservoir, and medical facilities such as the Hassler Health Home and County Sanatorium. The rugged backcountry south of Huddart Park reveals the region’s logging and exploration history through place names like Grabtown and an Oil Test Well, while schools like Kings Mtn School and Clifford School serve the growing mid-century community.
