USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
Bakersfield stands as the central hub of a landscape defined by industrial extraction and massive water engineering projects in the early 1960s. The western valley floor is dominated by extensive Oil Field operations and the sprawling boundaries of Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 1 and Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 2. This energy corridor is paralleled by an intricate network of irrigation, featuring the California Aqueduct, the Friant-Kern Canal, and numerous smaller channels like the Beardsley and Lerdo Canal.
