Sacramento County Maps:
Our wide variety of Sacramento maps includes emergency response plans, informing you on what to do if you need to take shelter or evacuate area during emergencies, such as locking all windows, or remembering to turn off appliances. We also have a colorful map of Sacramento’s general plan map which illustrates residential, commercial, industrial and open spaces areas. If you are curious of where recreational or agricultural lands are this map would be an interest to you! Students of Community and Regional Development can benefit from maps showing plans of the county during the latter half of last century, 1960-1990.
