About this map

Citrus Heights and its neighboring communities are defined by a dense residential grid punctuated by major burial grounds and educational institutions at the northern edge of the Sacramento Valley. The landscape is etched by a series of southwesterly flowing drainages, including Dry Cr, Cripple Cr, and Arcade Cr, which lead toward the American River corridor at the southern boundary. This riverfront is marked by distinctive features such as Rossmoor Bar and Sailor Bar, reflecting the alluvial character of the region.

Large memorial sites like Sylvan Cem, Calvary Catholic Cem, and the East Lawn Sierra Hills Memorial Park occupy significant acreage, serving as quiet landmarks amidst the suburban expansion of Foothill Farms and North Highlands. The Southern Pacific RR cuts through the northwest, while the presence of American River College and MTI College highlights the area's development as a regional academic and residential hub during the early 21st century.
