In Case of Nuclear Attack, Use This Map

Detailed Sacramento Community Shelter Planning map, which illustrated the location of radiation fallout shelters in the event of a nuclear attack.

In the 1950 and 1960s, many American communities developed fallout shelter community planning, in anticipation of a prospective attack by Soviet Russia.  As noted here,

This map and instructions will indicate to each person in Sacramento County where to obtain the best available protection from radioactive fallout in case of a nuclear attack.  It is extremely important to prepare today for the protection of you and your family in case of such a disaster.  On the right [of the map] is a space titled "Your Family Plan." . . .

The maps provide a detailed overview of the 135 fallout shelter locations around Sacramento County, as well as indexed local maps illustrating locations.

A fascinating look at the American mindset at the height of the Cold War.
