1962 Map of Bakersfield
USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
The Southern San Joaquin Valley transitions from industrial oilfields and agricultural grids into the high peaks of the Sierra Nevada and Tehachapi Mountains in this early 1970s revision. The city of Bakersfield serves as the regional hub, surrounded by critical infrastructure like Meadows Field and Bakersfield College. The landscape is defined by the massive extraction operations of the Kern River Oil Field and the Midway-Sunset Oil Field, alongside an extensive water management network including the California Aqueduct and Kern River Flood Canal.
