2012 Map of Fairmont Butte

About this map

Fairmont Butte and the surrounding high desert of Kern County are defined by a vast grid of gravel and paved roads that hint at a landscape largely partitioned for development. The map prominently tracks the essential movement of water through this arid terrain, following the path of both the Los Angeles Aqueduct and the Second Los Angeles Aqueduct as they traverse the region. These engineering feats are central to the area's infrastructure, cutting north to south through a network of residential and access roads.
