1968 Map of Elk Grove

About this map

The Cosumnes River winds through the southeastern reaches of this Sacramento County landscape, defining the agricultural character of the region during the late 1960s. The burgeoning community of Elk Grove serves as a central hub, while smaller settlements like Wilton and Sheldon anchor the surrounding rural expanse. The map illustrates a transitional period of growth, with the Southern Pacific and Central California Traction rail lines providing critical transport infrastructure alongside a grid of established thoroughfares like Grant Line Road and Elk Grove Blvd.
