1955 Map of Conner SW

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Oil Field operations and early water infrastructure dominate this Kern County landscape at the southern edge of the San Joaquin Valley. The map captures a significant period of transformation as the California Aqueduct is etched across the terrain, running parallel to the foothills. To the south, the topography rises sharply into the Los Lobos area and the Pleito Hills, where San Emigdio Creek and Los Lobos Creek emerge from the canyons. Agricultural activity is anchored by the Lakeview Labor Camp and a Cotton Gin near the intersection of Copus Road and Old River Road. The infrastructure of the mid-20th century petroleum and farming industries is visible through an extensive network of pipelines and several gravel pits concentrated along the dry creek beds.
