1906 Map of Bakersfield

USGS Topo · Published 1936

About this map

Bakersfield sits at the base of a complex landscape where the flat San Joaquin Valley meets a series of dramatic bluffs and canyons. Surveyed in the early 1900s, this area shows a dense concentration of early water and energy infrastructure. The Kern River is the central artery, diverted by an intricate network including the Beardsley Canal, Kern Island Canal, and Oil City Branch Canal. This irrigation system supported the valley's growth alongside early industrial sites like the Fullers Earth Mine.
