About this map

McClellan Air Force Base dominates the eastern landscape of this Sacramento County region, situated between the growing residential grids of North Highlands and Del Paso Heights. The map reflects a mid-century period of suburban expansion into the agricultural American Basin, where older settlements like Elverta and Rio Linda maintain their distinct identities alongside established institutions such as Rio Linda High School and Grant Union High School.

Transport corridors define the area's development, with the Western Pacific Railroad and Southern Pacific Railroad cutting through the terrain. To the north, the recreational spaces of Gibson Ranch County Park and the natural corridor of Dry Creek offer a contrast to the industrial and military infrastructure. Traceable genealogy details abound, from the Sunset Lawn Cem to numerous local campuses like Alpha School and Sierra View School.
