About this map

Oil Field operations dominate the landscape east of Bakersfield in the early 1990s, revealing the intensive industrial character of Kern County's petroleum and agricultural heartland. The settlement of Edison sits at the northern end of a dense grid of infrastructure, including a prominent Pipeline and Tower Line that cut across the valley floor. To the south, the community of Di Giorgio is anchored by a local Winery, signaling the transition from industrial extraction to the region's productive vineyards and orchards.

Natural and artificial features converge where Caliente Creek winds through the terrain toward the El Tejon Grant Boundary. This area is marked by several resource extraction sites, such as a Gravel Pit and multiple locations labeled Sandpit, alongside a curious Rock Pile near the southern edge. The map captures a complex network of local transit, from Comanche Drive to Panama Road, which serves the dual needs of the region's energy and wine industries.
