1975 Map of Auburn

About this map

Auburn and its surrounding foothills appear here as a mosaic of developed corridors and dense vegetation in the mid-1970s. This orthophotoquad, produced in cooperation with the Soil Conservation Service, uses aerial photography to reveal the fine-grained patterns of land use across the Placer County landscape. The large campus of the Dewitt State Hospital stands out as a significant institutional landmark on the west side of the city, while the winding course of the Middle Fork carves through the terrain to the south and east. Smaller settlements like Clipper Gap and Cool are visible as pockets of activity along the primary transportation routes, providing a detailed record of the region's suburban and rural expansion before the significant growth of later decades.
