1936 Map of Antelope Plain

USGS Topo · Published 1936

About this map

Antelope Plain dominates this 1930s landscape in western Kern County, showing a vast expanse of open terrain before the intensive agricultural development of later decades. The topography is defined by the sharp rise of the Lost Hills, where dense contour lines reveal the distinct ridgeline cutting across the valley floor. State Engineer Edward Hyatt and Governor Frank F. Merriam oversaw the public works of this era, which is reflected in the early road network and the presence of a lone Well in the northern section. This survey, conducted in 1932, captures the region's geological character and initial resource extraction efforts, providing a clear view of the land as it transitioned from a wilderness of dry plains to an industrial and agricultural hub.
