1953 Map of Blackwells Corner

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

The North Belridge Oil Field and surrounding petroleum operations dominate this mid-century landscape of the Antelope Plain in Kern County. This area shows a complex infrastructure of the era, marked by an extensive network of pipelines, oil tanks, and sumps that supported the local energy economy. Settlements like Blackwells Corner and North Belridge serve as focal points for the industrial activity, while the topography is defined by the Antelope Hills and the geological structure of the Mc Donald Anti-Cline. The presence of facilities such as the Carneros Pumping Sta and Middlewater Pumping Station underscores the logistical requirements of moving resources across this arid terrain. Remote outposts like Lonewell are also visible, offering a detailed look at the rural and industrial footprint of the region during the early 1950s.
