About this map

Cummings Valley and the southern extent of Tehachapi dominate this section of Kern County, where the high desert transitions into the Tehachapi Mountains. The terrain is defined by steep elevation changes, rising from the residential streets of the valley floor to the prominent peak of Cummings Mtn. Water drainage patterns are clearly visible through Water Canyon and Tejon Canyon, which carry seasonal runoff toward the south and west.

A notable cluster of development appears on the eastern slopes of the range, where street names like Matterhorn Dr, Zermatt Dr, and William Tell Trl suggest a mountain-resort influence. This area contrasts with the more traditional grid and ranch roads of the valley, such as Banducci Rd and Highline Rd. The map also captures several isolated landmarks like Stag Spring and the small settlement at Five Points, illustrating the distributed nature of modern habitation in these high-altitude landscapes.
