2019 Map of Bakersfield

About this map

Bakersfield sits at the intersection of modern transit and high desert topography in this Pecos County study. The map illustrates a landscape shaped by distinct elevations, notably Big Mesa in the northwest and the prominent southern heights of Squawteat Peak and Hog Peak. The infrastructure of the region is dominated by the corridor of the I10 Svc Rd, which parallels the interstate and connects the small settlement of Bakersfield with secondary routes like State Spur 293. This 2019 survey documents a network of ranching and service roads, such as Ranch Rd 1901 and Ernest Rd, which branch out across the desert floor. The layout of these roads, including the Nevill Cutoff Rd, reveals the continued importance of access to outlying land parcels in the Trans-Pecos region during the early twenty-first century.
