1967 Map of Citrus Heights

About this map

Roseville and Citrus Heights serve as the primary urban anchors in this Sacramento County landscape, showing the rapid expansion of mid-century residential tracts. The northern section is dominated by the Southern Pacific rail yards and the emerging healthcare infrastructure of Roseville Community Hospital. Further south, the map reveals a dense network of suburban schools like San Juan High School and American River College, catering to the post-war population boom. Along the southern edge, the American River provides a stark contrast with its Dredge Tailings and the American River Parkway, indicating the area's transition from an industrial mining past toward recreational use. This edition includes purple-shaded updates that document the accelerating conversion of orchards and open land into the modern suburbs of Foothill Farms and Carmichael.
