1968 Map of Sloughhouse

About this map

The Cosumnes River corridor in Sacramento County reveals a transition between old agricultural grants and industrial dredging operations. Near Sloughhouse, the landscape is defined by the Grant Boundary and scattered rural infrastructure like the Rhoades School and a Cem near the Historical Monument. Further south, the map documents a distinct pattern of orchard and grove development along Fig Road, Pear Lane, and Cherry Road, reflecting the region's horticultural history. The eastern section of the map is dominated by extensive Dredge Tailings and a Gravel Pit, evidence of the heavy mineral extraction that reshaped the terrain. Local social life is anchored by the Alta Mesa Community Hall and the Alta Mesa Gun Club near Walmort, while the California Traction rail line provides a historical transportation spine through the southern agricultural blocks.
