About this map

Agricultural lands and emerging residential tracts define this 1953 landscape south of the Sacramento City Bdy. The small community of Florin sits at the intersection of early transportation corridors, served by the Southern Pacific and Western Pacific railroads. The area shows a transition from rural farmsteads, marked by numerous windmills and specialized sites like the County Home for the Aged and Sky Ranch, toward modern infrastructure.

Hydrological features such as Morrison Creek, Laguna Creek, and the lower Stone Lake wetlands dominate the southern half of the quadrangle, while the Sacramento River and its accompanying Levee border the town of Freeport to the west. Genealogists can locate family-named infrastructure like Frasinetti Rd and Poppy Ridge Road, alongside local burial grounds including the San Joaquin Cem and Masonic Cem near the southern boundary.
