1943 Map of Belridge
USGS Topo · Published 1943About this map
Industrial expansion in the San Joaquin Valley is clearly defined by the oil infrastructure documented during the Second World War. The landscape is dominated by the operations of the Belridge Oil Co and the General Petroleum Corp South Belridge Lease Camp, where specialized lease camps supported the workforce required for large-scale extraction. These settlements, alongside the Belridge Oil Co South Belridge Lease Camp, provide a focused look at the company-town model that shaped Kern County's petroleum districts.
