About this map

Mather Air Force Base dominates the eastern landscape of this Sacramento County region, with Mather Field and its extensive airfield infrastructure positioned south of the American River. The 1967 landscape is characterized by the encroaching suburban growth of Carmichael and Rancho Cordova, evidenced by the dense concentration of schools like Deterding Sch and Rio Americano High Sch.

A striking environmental legacy is visible along the riverbanks, where extensive Dredge Tailings and Gravel Pits reveal the heavy industrial activity that once shaped the terrain. These features sit in stark contrast to the emerging residential developments and recreational spaces like Ancill Hoffman Park. Transportation networks define the area's movement, from the historic Southern Pacific rail line to established thoroughfares like Folsom Blvd and Walnut Ave. For genealogists, several burial grounds are preserved on this sheet, including the Mathew Kilgore Cem and Arlington Memorial Cem.
