1994 Map of Sacramento

About this map

Sacramento and its sprawling suburban corridors anchor this mid-1990s landscape, illustrating the intense management of the Central Valley water system. The map highlights the critical engineering of the Yolo Bypass, the Sutter Bypass, and the Cache Creek Settling Basin, designed to protect the capital city from the floodwaters of the Sacramento River and Feather River. Military and aviation footprints are prominent at McClellan Air Force Base and Mather Air Force Base, while the growing residential reaches of Citrus Heights, Folsom, and Orangevale push toward the foothills near the Folsom Lake State Recreation Area. To the west, the rural character remains centered on agricultural outposts like Zamora and Nicolaus, and the unique campus of D-Q University, showing the region's diverse mix of urban development, defense installations, and deep-rooted irrigation-dependent farming.
