1967 Map of Citrus Heights

About this map

Citrus Heights and its neighboring communities in northeast Sacramento County show a landscape in rapid transition during the mid-twentieth century. The southern reach of the sheet follows the American River, also labeled as the Rio de los Americanos, where dredge tailings near Sailor Bar reveal the enduring physical legacy of hydraulic mining. The area is defined by its educational and religious institutions, including St John the Evangelist Sch, Kingswood Sch, and San Juan HS, alongside major healthcare facilities like Mercy San Juan Hospital. To the north, the Southern Pacific railroad corridor anchors industrial and commercial hubs near Roseville. Residential expansion is visible through numerous established neighborhoods like Foothill Farms and North Highlands, while landmarks such as the North Ridge Country Club and several large memorial parks reflect the suburbanization of former agricultural land.
