About this map

The Antelope Plain unfolds across this section of the western San Joaquin Valley, characterized by a vast landscape shaped by modern water management and industrial transit. Running prominently through the terrain is the Governor Edmund G Brown California Aqueduct, a critical artery for the state's agricultural economy. This 2021 survey illustrates how the arid floor of the Central Valley is structured by a grid of specialized service roads, including Twisselman Rd and Holloway Rd, which facilitate movement between sparse industrial outposts and grazing lands.

Evidence of the region's mineral extraction economy is visible at Holloway Gypsum in the southern reaches of the map. Elevation changes are subtle, with the low rise of the Lost Hills providing a rare topographic variance in an otherwise expansive flatland. The map provides a detailed view of current township and range boundaries, such as t25s r20e, which remain the fundamental framework for land ownership in this part of Kern County.
