1912 Map of Buena Vista Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1929

About this map

Buena Vista Lake and Kern Lake dominate the southern reach of the San Joaquin Valley in this survey, showcasing a massive hydraulic landscape of canals, sloughs, and levees before modern reclamation fully transformed the basin. The Kern River feeds a complex network of irrigation works including the Calloway Canal and James Canal, while the western hills are marked by early industrial footprints like the Oil Pumping Station near Elk Hills.
