1954 Map of Auburn
USGS Topo · Published 1965About this map
Auburn and the surrounding Sierra Nevada foothills are captured here during a period of transition, shortly before the completion of the Folsom Dam project would alter the river valleys forever. Blue hatching along the South Fork American River indicates the coming inundation of historic sites like Salmon Falls, while the Middle Fork American River remains deeply entrenched in its natural canyon. The landscape is a dense network of gold-rush era legacies and mid-century infrastructure, with the Southern Pacific railroad and U S Highway 40 serving as the primary arteries through Newcastle, Penryn, and Loomis.
