1967 Map of Sacramento East

About this map

The American River carves through the heart of this mid-century capital landscape, separating the established urban grid of Sacramento from the burgeoning suburban developments of Arden Town and North Sacramento. This 1967 survey captures a city in transition, where legacy landmarks like Sutters Fort St Hist Mon and the State Capitol sit amidst a massive expansion of infrastructure. The sprawling California State Exposition grounds and the massive Sacramento Army Depot illustrate the mid-century scale of public and military investment. To the south, the map documents a concentration of local history markers, from St Patricks Orphanage and the Home of Peace Cem to the industrial activity at Perkins and Polk. The intricate rail network of the Southern Pacific and Central California Traction lines remains a dominant feature, serving the various gravel pits and warehouses that fueled the era's growth.
