1950 Map of Carmichael

About this map

Carmichael and the surrounding river bottomlands sit at a point of transition in this mid-century portrait of Sacramento County. North of the American River, the suburban grid begins to take shape along Marconi Ave and El Camino Ave, while the southern half of the sheet remains dominated by the sprawling U S Military Reservation and the active runways of Mather Field. The landscape still bears the heavy marks of industrial history, with prominent dredge tailings lining the river banks near Citrus and the Southern Pacific tracks.
