1967 Map of Citrus Heights

About this map

The Southern Pacific railroad corridor serves as the industrial and transportation backbone for Roseville as it expands southward into the suburban landscape of Sacramento County during the mid-1970s. This survey illustrates a period of rapid urbanization, with significant purple-tinted extensions of residential areas surrounding Citrus Heights and Carmichael. The map documents a dense network of educational and spiritual landmarks, from San Juan HS to the Holy Family Sch, marking the post-war growth of these communities. To the south, the American River and the Rio de los Americanos land grant define the natural boundary of Fair Oaks, where dredge tailings along the riverbank offer a stark contrast to the manicured grounds of the North Ridge Country Club. Local history is preserved in the location of several significant burial grounds, including Mt Calvary Cemetery and Sierra Hills Memorial Park.
