1967 Map of Pleasant Grove

About this map

The agricultural landscape of the Sutter and Placer County border is defined by its extensive drainage network and emerging infrastructure. This 1967 survey, with updates from 1981, shows the small settlement of Pleasant Grove at the intersection of Howsley Road and Pleasant Grove Road. The terrain is dissected by watercourses such as Auburn Ravine, King Slough, and Pleasant Grove Creek, which support the surrounding ranchlands. Industrial and military footprints are evident at the Lincoln Communication Annex (AF) and the KFBK Radio Towers. Transportation across the valley floor is facilitated by the Western Pacific and Sacramento Northern railroads, which parallel the Natomas East Main Drainage Canal near the southern border at Riego. A mix of established country lanes like Striplin Road and newer developments near Kaseburg reflect the region's gradual transition from open range to specialized use.
