1967 Map of Rio Linda

About this map

Rio Linda and the northern reaches of Sacramento are captured during a period of rapid suburban expansion, with extensive purple-tinted revisions from the late 1970s highlighting new residential tracts. This transition from agricultural roots to a developed military and suburban hub is anchored by McClellan Air Force Base, which dominates the eastern landscape alongside North Highlands. The map preserves the original rural layout of Elverta and Riego, showing early schools like Alpha Sch and Dudley Sch alongside major infrastructure like the Elverta Switchyard.
