1950 Map of Avenal Gap

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

Kettleman Hills terrain dominates this landscape where the Kings Co Kern Co boundary line divides the Middle Dome and South Dome. The map illustrates a distinctive transition between the Kettleman Plain and the Antelope Plain, linked by the geologic corridor of Avenal Gap. This 1950 edition reflects surveys from 1930, documenting the remote settlement at Devils Den and the nearby Devils Den Sch before modern highway expansion. The network of seasonal watercourses, including Arroyo Toxo and Arroyo Ancho, defines the drainage patterns through the arid canyons and ridges such as Pinto Ridge and El Caballete La Zanja. These topographic details provide a clear look at the historic road alignments for the Bakersfield Road and Lemoore Road as they navigated the complex folds of the southern San Joaquin Valley foothills.
