The California Room owns a collection of historic topographic
maps for Santa Clara and Santa Cruz Counties dating back to
1899. While some of these maps are color originals, most are
black and white photoreproductions.
These maps can be very helpful in tracing the impact of settlement
on the land by showing natural and manmade features such as
waterways, building, mines, dams, and other structures.
In addition, selected historic topographic maps for the San Francisco Bay Area are accessible online:
