About this map

Elk Grove serves as the focal point of this 1960s Sacramento County landscape, characterized by a transition from established residential centers to a network of agrarian homesteads and irrigation infrastructure. The town's historic footprint is marked by the Union Cem and Odd Fellows Cem, while education is anchored at Union HS. To the east, the rural settlements of Sheldon and Wilton are connected by the diagonal path of the Central California Traction railroad.

The hydrology of the region is defined by the Cosumnes River along the southern boundary and the meandering Laguna Creek. Significant local industry and community landmarks include the Central Valley State Fish Hatchery and the Elk Grove County Park. Further exploration reveals small country schools like Pleasant Grove Sch and the Dillard Sch, alongside the agricultural importance of the San Joaquin De Los Moquelumnes land grant territory.
