1954 Map of Conner

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Agricultural development and hydraulic engineering define this Kern County landscape as it appeared in the mid-1950s, with later revisions reflecting shifts in the 1960s and 70s. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the Kern Lake Bed, a vast basin where the New Rim Levee Ditch and Old Rim Levee Ditch trace the historical margins of the water. The presence of Kern Lake and the Kern Island Canal illustrates the extensive system of drainage and irrigation required to convert this former wetland into productive land. Industrial activity is concentrated at the Paloma Oil Field, where numerous wells and an Oil Sump are visible.
