1953 Map of Emigrant Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Devils Den Oil Field anchor the northwest corner of this terrain, where industrial extraction meets the arid expanses of the Antelope Plain. This mid-century survey captures an era of infrastructure development in Kern County, marked by the presence of the Temblor Pumping Sta and Junction Pumping Sta along a prominent Pipe Line. The landscape is defined by its ranching heritage and topographic landmarks, including Hannah Ranch and Yribarren Ranch, which sit among notable rises like Wagon Wheel Mtn and Mt Vernon. A single grave near Point of Rocks offers a quiet genealogical detail amidst the Welcome Valley. Seasonal water features like Bitterwater Creek and various reservoirs illustrate the critical management of water in this semi-desert environment.
