1942 Map of Bakersfield West

USGS Topo · Published 1944

About this map

The Kern River anchors this landscape, flowing through a complex network of man-made irrigation and infrastructure. The map reveals the critical importance of water management in the Central Valley, with features like Pioneer Weir, Calloway Weir, and the James and Southern Pacific River feeding an intricate grid of canals including the Lerdo Canal and Stine Canal. This hydrology supports a patchwork of early settlements and agricultural holdings such as Rosedale, Stevens, and the Arkelo Ranch.
