About this map

The Naval Petroleum Reserve No 1 dominates the southern landscape of this Kern County survey, reflecting the early 20th-century strategic importance of California’s oil resources. This industrial footprint is anchored by the Standard Oil Co Hay-Carman Camp, situated amidst the undulating contours of the Elk Hills. The map captures a critical transition where the high ground of the oil fields meets the intensive hydraulic engineering of the San Joaquin Valley floor.
