1950 Map of Carmichael

About this map

The American River dominates the central landscape of this mid-century survey, flanked by extensive Dredge Tailings that reveal the region's industrial legacy. To the north, the settlement of Carmichael is shown with its grid of local schools and avenues, including Marvin Marshall Sch and Marconi Ave. This period marks a significant military footprint in the area, anchored by the sprawling facilities at Mather Field and the adjacent U S Military Reservation south of the Southern Pacific tracks.
