About this map

The city of Lincoln serves as the focal point of this Placer County survey, situated at the crossroads of the Southern Pacific railroad and a series of agricultural ravines. The landscape transitions from the developed town center, marked by its Po, City Hall, and High Sch, to the industrial and agricultural outskirts. To the south, a significant Clay Pit and an area of Dredge Tailings near Lincoln Airport highlight the region's extractive history.

Northward, the map tracks the rail line through smaller points like Clayton, Ewing, and the settlement of Sheridan. The terrain is defined by a network of waterways including Coon Creek and Auburn Ravine, which support scattered homesteads such as Chamberlain Ranch and Sunnybrook Farm. Genealogists may find particular value in the location of Manzanita Cem and the various rural schools and churches that dotted the foothills during the mid-century.
