2023 Map of Bakersfield

About this map

Bakersfield sits at the base of the prominent Tunas Peak in this high-desert portion of West Texas. The landscape is defined by its dramatic topography, including the isolated Hog Peak to the southwest and the flat-topped Big Mesa in the northwest. These features rise above the winding path of Tunas Creek, which snakes through the plains and under major local thoroughfares like Ranch Rd 1901. The map reveals the infrastructure of the Permian Basin region, highlighting the network of ranch roads and state-maintained routes such as State Spur 293 and Nevill Rd that provide access to this ranching and energy-producing territory. The intersection of these modern service roads with the old landmarks and peaks offers a clear view of the region's land use and transportation patterns in the early 2020s.
