1968 Map of Sloughhouse

About this map

The Cosumnes River corridor dominates this Sacramento County landscape, where the legacy of early land grants is still visible in the Grant Line Road Boundary and the borders of the Mochumne Grant and Cosumne Grant. Agricultural life in the late 1960s is evidenced by a dense network of fruit-named thoroughfares such as Peach Lane, Pear Lane, and Orange Road. Community hubs like the Alta Mesa Community Hall and local institutions such as Rhoades School and Dillard Sch anchor the rural settlements of Sloughhouse and Cosumne. Notable industrial and recreational features are scattered across the terrain, including a Fish Hatchery, an Alta Mesa Gun Club, and a prominent Historical Monument. To the east, the environmental impact of earlier resource extraction is clearly marked by extensive Dredge Tailings and a Gravel Pit near the river's edge.
