1954 Map of Sacramento East

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The American River carves a winding path through the heart of this mid-century capital, dividing the established urban core from the expanding suburbs of North Sacramento and Arden Town. The landscape is a dense network of civic and religious institutions, featuring the State Capitol (BM 21) and Sutter's Fort alongside numerous parochial schools like the Immaculate Conception Sch and the St Patricks Orphanage. Transportation infrastructure dominates the eastern corridor, where the Southern Pacific and Sacramento Northern railroads intersect near industrial sites and the US Army Signal Depot. Further south, the Sacramento Municipal Airport and the Sacramento Sky Ranch reflect the era's aviation growth, while the State Fairgrounds remains a central landmark for the region's social life before further sprawl shifted the city's focus.
