1947 Map of Bissell

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The Mojave Desert terrain of eastern Kern County dominates this 1947 survey, revealing a landscape defined by the logistics of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad line. The settlement of Bissell sits as a vital point along these tracks, serving as a rare center of activity in a region of sparse habitation. Beyond the rail corridor, the map documents the presence of isolated desert outposts such as the De Stazo Ranch and the E Brown Ranch, highlighting the specialized ranching operations that persisted in this arid environment during the late 1940s.
