About this map

The Sacramento metropolitan area and the rising western slopes of the Sierra Nevada define this mid-century survey of the Central Valley. Heavy military and institutional investment is evident across the landscape, from the State Capitol and State Hospital to massive facilities like Mather Air Force Base, the Sacramento Army Depot, and the U S Army Primary Communication Station near Davis. The map captures the complex water management systems of the region, featuring the Folsom Lake State Recreation Area and the intricate network of levees and bypasses along the Sacramento River and American River.
