1911 Map of Arcade

USGS Topo · Published 1942

About this map

The Northern Electric Railway carves a straight diagonal path through this 1911 landscape, marking the transition from the low-lying American Basin toward the rising grounds of the Sierra foothills. Small agricultural and commuter settlements such as Elverta, Robla, and Arcade are visible as they emerged along these rail corridors. The presence of the Southern Pacific Railroad and its Ogden Line further demonstrates the critical role of rail infrastructure in shaping the development of northern Sacramento County. Near the southern edge, the Auburn Road passes through Del Paso, while local education is anchored by the Oak Grove School and Arcade School. Several watercourses, including Dry Creek, Linda Creek, and Magpie Creek, drain the territory toward Bush Lake at the edge of the basin, revealing the natural drainage patterns that determined where the early settlers could successfully farm and build.
