About this map

The land grant legacy of the Omochumnes and the Rio De Los Americanos dominates this early twentieth-century survey of eastern Sacramento County. The landscape reflects a transition from Spanish-era ranchos to a developing rural infrastructure, characterized by the emerging network of the Sacramento and Jackson Road and the northern presence of the Placerville RR. This 1916 edition identifies localized landmarks essential for genealogical research, such as the Highland School, situated in a region of low hills and creek drainages. The detailed topography follows the winding courses of Deer Creek and Carson Creek, providing a record of the terrain before the mid-century expansion of local agricultural and suburban systems changed the character of these historic ranching lands.
