1960 Map of Bakersfield
USGS Topo · Published 1960About this map
Bakersfield serves as the central hub of this 1960 survey, a landscape defined by an intensive network of irrigation canals and the rising industrial presence of the energy sector. To the north, the sprawling footprints of Tulare Lake and Buena Vista Lake contrast with the engineered precision of the Friant-Kern Canal and Homeland Canal, illustrating the monumental efforts to manage water in the Southern San Joaquin Valley. The eastern reaches of the sheet climb abruptly into the Sierra Nevada and Tehachapi Mountains, where the Sequoia National Forest and Tule River Indian Reservation dominate the high country.
