USGS Topo · Published 1967About this map
The industrial and agricultural character of the western San Joaquin Valley is evident in this mid-century survey of the Kettleman North Dome. An extensive network of pipelines, oil sumps, and a central Oil Refinery underscore the region's importance as an energy hub, while local commerce and community life center on the town of Avenal. The transition from the flat Kettleman Plain to the uplifted Kreyenhagen Hills is marked by watercourses like Zapato Chino Creek and Canoas Creek, which carve through the arid terrain.
