1968 Map of Bruceville

About this map

The confluence of the Mokelumne River and the Cosumnes River dominates this Sacramento Delta landscape, where complex waterways and drainage systems like Snodgrass Slough and Grizzley Slough define the land use. Agricultural activity is central to the area's identity, evidenced by the New Hope Tract and established homesteads such as Kuhn Ranch. In the late 1960s, the region supported diverse infrastructure, from the aviation operations at Franklin Field and a nearby Landing Strip to the civic grounds of the County Farm. Small settlements like Bruceville and Point Pleasant are anchored by a network of rural roads including Lambert Road and Twin Cities Road. The map also illustrates the transition of transportation through the area, marking both the established lines of the Southern Pacific and Western Pacific railroads alongside a prominent Proposed Location for future highway development.
