1967 Map of Sacramento East

About this map

The State Capitol and the civic heart of Sacramento anchor this mid-century survey, which documents a period of rapid urban expansion across the American River. Industrial and military infrastructure is prominent at the Sacramento Army Depot in the southeast, while the development of Sacramento State College and the California State Exposition grounds reflect the city's post-war civic growth. The map captures a dense network of neighborhoods such as Oak Park and North Sacramento, punctuated by significant green spaces and historical sites like William Land Park. For genealogists, the map is particularly valuable for its detail of several large burial grounds, including St Josephs Cem, Odd Fellows Cem, and the City Cem, along with parochial institutions like St Patricks Orphanage. The purple overprints illustrate the shifting Corporate Boundary as the city pushed into areas like Arden Town and Fruitridge Manor.
