Weber's Map of Santa Clara County, California, published by C. F. Weber & Co. in 1914, is a thorough and highly detailed depiction of the region in the early 20th century. The map's intricacies reflect the transformation and progress of the period, making it a valuable record of California's cultural and industrial history.
Capturing the infrastructural and technological changes of the time, the map outlines not only towns and geographic features such as rivers and creeks but also the transportation networks integral to the region's development. Steam and electric railroads, as well as wagon and automobile roads, are clearly marked, providing a comprehensive view of Santa Clara's complex transportation landscape at the start of the 20th century.
Equally noteworthy are the map's detailed demarcations of reclamation and irrigation districts, underscoring the ongoing human impact on the landscape and its resources. Township and section lines further organize the geography, offering valuable insights into the land division and administrative structure of Santa Clara County at the time.
The map, which drew on the latest official and private sources, stands as a testament to the early 20th-century cartographic precision. Produced by C. F. Weber & Co., a respected publisher with offices in both San Francisco and Los Angeles, and copyrighted by the Punnett Brothers in 1914, Weber's Map of Santa Clara County combines historical significance with high-quality production. The document thereby presents a detailed record of Santa Clara County, capturing the region's transition into the modern age.
