1910 Map of Pleasant Grove

About this map

Pleasant Grove and the surrounding agricultural lands of the Sacramento Valley are captured here just before the era of widespread highway development. The landscape is defined by its natural drainage systems, such as Auburn Ravine and Pleasant Grove Creek, which meander through the central and northern sections of the sheet. At the southern edge, the small settlement of Riego sits along the route of the Northern Electric RR, reflecting the importance of interurban electric rail in early twentieth-century California transport.
