Description
This detailed map of Santa Clara County, California, was created by Rand McNally of Chicago in 1947 and distributed courtesy of the National Realty Co. The postwar years saw a surge in settlement across San Francisco’s southern suburbs, though the region has yet to attain the urban character by which it is best known today.
Cities like San Jose, Santa Clara, and Palo Alto contrast sharply with the massive ranchos and mostly unpopulated landscapes on either side of Highway 101. Types of roads, rural postal routes, legal boundaries, schools, and golf courses are noted according to the legend in the upper right. The verso presents a street map of San Jose and its environs, along with a street index and a list of points of interest across Santa Clara County.
