1911 Map of Mills

About this map

Mills and the surrounding agricultural landscape of Sacramento County appear here shortly after the turn of the century, organized around the Southern Pacific railroad and the Placerville Branch. The map details the transition from the riverfront bluffs of the American River and the northern San Juan and Del Paso tracts to the grid-patterned ranch lands of the Rio De Los Americanos. Settlements and stops along the rail line, such as Routier, Mayhews, and Manlove, highlight the area's development as a transport corridor for local produce and goods. Further south, the landscape is defined by drainage systems like Morrison Creek and Elder Creek, where rural community life centered on sites like the Excelsior School and Twelvemile House along the Sacramento and Jackson Road. This survey captures the region just as it began evolving from large historic land grants into a more densely settled suburban and farming network.
