Edison Oil Field and the neighboring Mountain View Oil Field dominate this section of the San Joaquin Valley, where industrial petroleum extraction and large-scale agriculture converge. The settlement of Di Giorgio serves as a hub for the region's agricultural operations, flanked by worker housing at Camp Ten A, Camp Ten B, and Camp Eight. This landscape is defined by its grid of transit and utility corridors, including the Edison Hwy and a network of arterial roads like Comanche Dr and Tejon Hwy. The arid terrain is crossed by the ephemeral beds of Caliente Cr and Walker Basin Cr, while specialized facilities like the Di Giorgio Ranch Landing Strip Airport and local landmarks like the Rock Pile highlight the diverse land use of Kern County in the early 21st century.
