2021 Map of Conner

About this map

The Central Valley agricultural landscape of Kern County is defined by a grid of rural roads and irrigation works like the Stine Canal and Farmers Canal. In this southern stretch of the San Joaquin Valley, the land use pattern centers on the dry expanse of the Kern Lake Bed, where the remnant Kern Lake and the New Rim Ditch trace the hydrological history of a once-watery basin now managed for cultivation. Small settlements like Lakeside and Alameda are positioned along a network of family-named thoroughfares such as Houghton Rd and Gosford Rd. In the western portion of the quadrangle, the community of Conner sits at the intersection of Old River Rd and Millux Rd, illustrating the transition from traditional farmsteads to the modern transit corridors of Bear Mountain Blvd.
