1910 Map of Lincoln

About this map

The town of Lincoln serves as the primary hub in this early 20th-century survey of western Placer County. As a critical point for the Southern Pacific R R, the area’s development is tied closely to the transport of local resources, highlighted by a prominent Quarry and the Marysville Line branching through the landscape. The map captures the agricultural and industrial layout of the era, from the established settlement of Sheridan in the northwest to the rural Fairoaks School and the small siding at Ewing. Natural watercourses including Coon Creek, Doty Creek, and Auburn Ravine segment the terrain, while local genealogy is grounded by the presence of a Cem near the town center. This record illustrates the transition from raw ranchland to a railroad-connected industrial landscape before the mid-century expansion of Northern California.
