1906 Map of Bakersfield

USGS Topo · Published 1925

About this map

The Southern San Joaquin Valley transitions from emerging industrial hubs to rugged upland terrain in this 1903-1904 survey. Bakersfield and the nearby settlement of Kern anchor the lower portion of the map, where a dense network of water infrastructure like the Beardsley Irrigation Canal and Calloway Canal diverts from the Kern River to support agricultural development. North of the city, the Oil City Branch of the railroad services the petroleum-rich area around Oil City and Oil Junction, illustrating the early 20th-century oil boom that transformed the region.
