Sacramento Section


Covering 24 counties in the northeast sector of the state, the Sacramento Section is divided into four Branches and has the following five National Historic Civil Engineering Landmarks: the Central Pacific Railroad, Folsom Hydroelectric Power System, Pelton Impulse Water Wheel, Bidwell Bar Suspension Bridge, and the Bridgeport Covered Bridge.

In 1976, in recognition of the United States Bicentennial, the Sacramento History & Heritage Committee published a booklet entitled, “Historic Civil Engineering Landmarks in Sacramento and Northeastern California.”  That booklet, as well as all landmarks in  Sacrament Section can be accessed from the links below.
