1954 Map of Avenal Gap

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Kettleman Plain and the Antelope Plain meet in this mid-century survey of the California Central Valley, centered on the strategic Avenal Gap. The landscape is a study in industrial and agricultural utility, where the arid terrain is managed through an extensive network of oil wells, oil tanks, and water infrastructure including several water tanks and a reservoir. Cultural features are focused on the southern portion of the sheet near the Kings and Kern County line, where the small settlement of Devils Den and a Farm Labor Camp are located.
