About this map

The city of Bakersfield anchors the northwest corner of this 1950 survey, which captures the agricultural and industrial transition of Kern County. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of irrigation ditches, including the Eastside Canal and Kern Island Cottonwood Canal, which supported the region's expanding farm tracts. Transport routes such as the Southern Pacific railroad and the Southern Pacific Highway parallel the canal lines, facilitating the movement of goods from smaller rail stops like Magunden. Throughout the quadrangle, rural education centers serve as local landmarks, with the Fairfax School, Brundage Sch, and Mountain View Sch positioned along the grid of farm-to-market roads like Brundage Lane and Panama Lane. Near the southern boundary, the settlement of Lamont appears at a crossroads, while a Cem remains a permanent fixture near the urban fringe.
