About this map

Mc Clellan Air Force Base dominates the eastern landscape of this Sacramento County region, a massive military installation defined by industrial waste ponds and a sprawling airfield. The surrounding residential growth of the early 1990s is captured here, showing the established communities of Rio Linda and North Highlands as they expanded into the former agricultural spaces of the American Basin.

Hydrological features like Dry Creek and the Main Drainage Canal intersect the suburban grid, while historic pockets like Elverta and Robla maintain their distinct identities amidst the urban sprawl of Sacramento. Local landmarks such as the Rio Linda Airport and Sunset Lawn Cemetery provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians, while the northern reaches transition into more open spaces like Gibson Ranch County Park near the boundary of Placer County.
