1910 Map of Buena Vista Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1912

About this map

Buena Vista Lake and Kern Lake dominate the southern reach of the San Joaquin Valley in this early twentieth-century survey, before modern water management significantly altered the basin's hydrology. The map reveals an intricate network of irrigation and transport, featuring the Calloway Canal, Beardsley Canal, and Kern Island Canal branching from the Kern River. This hydraulic infrastructure supported the growing agricultural and industrial landscape around Bakersfield and Rosedale.
