About this map

Sanborn and Bissell anchor this high-desert landscape in Kern County, California, showing a transition between arid flats and prominent geological rises. The terrain is defined by the Rosamond Hills and Bissell Hills, which emerge from the Mojave Desert floor. These elevations are punctuated by specific landmarks like Brown Butte, Lookout Hill, and De Stazo Hill, providing clear orientation points within the desert expanse.

A network of named roads, including E Silver Queen Rd and Willow Springs Rd, cuts through the grid system in the northwest, suggesting residential or agricultural development patterns. Farther south, Sopp Rd marks a clear boundary between the more developed sections and the open, contoured hills. The map provides a precise look at the township and range divisions, such as t10n r11w, illustrating how the land was surveyed and partitioned for use.
