Twenty rancho land grants in what is now Santa Cruz County are shown on the map at right. Some of the names have survived as community names, including: Zayante, Soquel, Aptos, and Corralitos. Links to articles on all of the Santa Cruz County ranchos can be found in a sortable table in the California ranchos (Wikipedia). Other names were borrowed from nearby watercourses (as were some of the community names): San Vicente Creek, Laguna Creek, Carbonera Creek, Calabasas Creek, Salsipuedes Creek, and Pajaro River.

The map was copied from Santa Cruz: The Early Years (1980 book), by Leon Rowland.
