About this map

Auburn serves as the central hub of this 1950s landscape, where the Southern Pacific railroad and a complex network of canals like the Boardman Canal define the region's infrastructure. The map documents a period of significant institutional presence, notably the sprawling DeWitt State Hospital and the Auburn Municipal Airport. To the north and east, the transition from settlement to the steep canyons of the American River Forest is clear, with former town locations such as Hotaling and Millertown recorded alongside active rural centers like Clipper Gap and Ophir.
