File:California highways; a descriptive record of road development by the state and by such counties as have paved highways (1920) (14801578453).jpg

English:
Highway map of the County of Santa Cruz, California; Santa Cruz County has received liberal treatment from the state, the Scott's Valley Highway being practically complete while that stretch from Boulder Creek through Redwood Park and the Sky-Line Boulevard are planned for early construction. From the eastern end of the county system the state has promised to build the coast highway, a matter of three or four miles.

The county system is under construction in the latter part of 1919 with the exception of that route shown along the coast which is to be built by direct tax and out of other supplementary funds. This coast road, connecting with an established road put in by San Mateo County, which is fairly well paved, supplies one of the most attractive drives near San Francisco and will some day form a link in an all-coast road from the Golden Gate to Mexico in connection with the Carmel-San Simeon stretch of the state highway.

In addition to the fruits, berries, dairyproducts, and vegetables produced, all of which requiresmooth highways to reach market in satisfactory condition,the poultry industry, which has been developed into exten-sive proportions in the last few years, particularly aroundSanta Cruz, supplies one more, and it may be said an excel-lent, reason for paved highways.
