About this map

Discovery Well sits at the heart of the Kettleman North Hills Dome, marking a pivotal moment in the development of the California oil industry. This 1930 survey, produced under the direction of Governor James Rolph, Jr., details a landscape rapidly transforming from open range into an industrial corridor. The map captures the infrastructure of the energy boom, from the Standard Oil Camp and the Pacific Gas and Electric Plant to the isolated settlement of Milham City.
