About this map

The American River carves a wide arc through this urban landscape, separating the residential expansions of North Sacramento and Swanston from the core city. This early 1990s layout illustrates the massive logistical and educational infrastructure defining the regional economy, from the sprawling Sacramento Army Depot in the southeast to the riverside campus of California State University Sacramento. A high density of civic and religious landmarks is evident, including the concentrated Broadway Cemeteries complex featuring St Josephs Cemetery and the Home of Peace Cemetery.

Preservation of the area's pioneer heritage is centered at Sutters Fort State Historic Park and the Governors Mansion State Historic Park, surrounded by a grid of established neighborhoods like Oak Park and Ramona. The map captures the significant transport footprint of the Southern Pacific railroad lines and the Sacramento Executive Airport, while the California Exposition and State Fair grounds occupy a prominent bend in the river.
