1959 Map of Carneros Rocks

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

McDonald Anticline and the surrounding high desert of western Kern County dominate this 1959 field-checked landscape, where the petroleum industry is etched into the terrain. The map captures a high-density network of oil wells and infrastructure concentrated within the South Belridge oil field and the Cymric Oil Field. These industrial zones contrast sharply with the natural drainage patterns of Santos Creek and Chico Martinez Creek, which carve through the Bacon Hills.
