About this map

The Second Los Angeles Aqueduct and the original Los Angeles Aqueduct cut through this high-desert terrain of eastern Kern County, illustrating the vital infrastructure required to move water across the California landscape. This 2012 survey highlights the varied topography of the southern Sierra Nevada foothills, anchored by prominent elevations like Cache Peak and Middle Knob.

A network of named springs provides essential water sources across this arid environment, including Champagne Spring, Hungry Spring, and Megs Mud Spring. These features, alongside Airplane Flat and Sweet Ridge, define a region characterized by sparse roads such as the Randsburg Cutoff and Sierra Leon Rd. The presence of Indian Cr and Falls Cr further details the drainage patterns within the North Fork Pine Tree Canyon.
