The map
Lincoln lies in Placer County, on the gently rising land between the Sacramento Valley and the Sierra Nevada foothills. The oldest part of town is a small grid of streets beside the railway, and from there the city has grown outward in large new neighbourhoods. Curving streets, cul-de-sacs and parks fill the newer districts, and open grassland and farmland surround them.
Lincoln was one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States in the early 2000s, with much of the growth in planned communities, including a large active-adult development. The city is also home to Gladding, McBean, a terracotta and clay pipe manufacturer founded in the nineteenth century that is still operating beside the old town.
A Lincoln map poster shows two ways of building a town. The historic core is a compact rectangular grid, while the new suburbs spread in loops and curves around lakes and golf courses. In black and white the contrast is striking: straight lines at the centre, flowing patterns around it.
The original town is a small rectangular grid beside the rail line, the oldest and most regular part of the map.
Newer neighbourhoods are laid out in curving streets and cul-de-sacs, creating flowing patterns that fill much of the frame.
The Gladding, McBean terracotta works occupy a large site near the old town, a long-running industrial landmark in Lincoln's history.
