1929 Map of Coles Levee

USGS Topo · Published 1929

About this map

The Elk Hills dominate the southwestern corner of this Kern County survey, providing a sharp topographic contrast to the surrounding alluvial plain. This 1920s landscape is defined by an extensive network of water management, where the Kern River and its associated Kern River Slough are redirected through engineered works like the Pioneer Canal and the James and Dixon Canal. This infrastructure supported the regional transition from wild wetlands to structured agricultural and industrial use.
