1932 Map of Fairfax School

USGS Topo · Published 1939

About this map

The southeastern outskirts of Bakersfield are captured here in a transition from urban grid to agricultural expanses, reflecting Kern County's rapid development between the late 1920s and late 1930s. The landscape is defined by the convergence of the Southern Pacific and A T & S F railroads, which parallel the State Highway 466 through the settlement of Magunden. This infrastructure served a productive irrigation network, with the Eastside Canal and Kern Island Canal feeding the fields surrounding Greenfield and Lamont. Local social hubs are clearly marked at the Fairfax School, Brundage Sch, and Mountain View Sch, providing critical reference points for genealogists tracing family locations in this farming district. Notable rural road names like Weed Patch Highway and White Wolf Road suggest the specific local character of the early valley road system.
