1932 Map of Buttonwillow

About this map

The town of Buttonwillow serves as the central hub in this survey of Kern County's agricultural and industrial landscape during the early 1930s. The region is defined by an extensive water management network, including the Garden Canal, East Side Canal, and the Main Drainage Ditch, which support large-scale landholdings such as the Miller and Lux Headquarters Ranch and Palomas Ranch. This infrastructure transformed the arid valley floor into productive territory for ranching and settlement.
