A significant portion of the San Jose to Gilory route for the California High Speed Rail project will be along the Monterey Highway. Current plans assume that the Monterey Highway will either be narrowed or moved to make room for the train.
These maps show the original ownership of property and changes that have occurred, making them interesting for those interested in the project obsessive or just local history. When nearby Highway 101 was upgraded, the state relinquished Monterey Highway to the local jurisdictions.
These maps are courtesy of Caltrans. Please note: further changes may have occurred and the precise ownership of land can only be determined by a surveyor. In addition, there have been many annexations in south Santa Clara County.
