About this map

Naval Petroleum Reserve No 1 dominates the rugged Southern California landscape in this mid-century survey, revealing the intensive industrialization of the Elk Hills. The terrain is dense with infrastructure supporting the extraction of crude, featuring a vast network of Oil Wells, a dedicated Gas Plant, and the concentrated settlement at Camp 36-R. This area, managed under the authority of the Secretary of the Navy, stands in sharp contrast to the irrigated agricultural lands just to the north.
