1950 Map of Fairmont

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

Fairmont sits at the intersection of mountain foothills and the expansive Antelope Valley floor, marking a point of transition between high desert plains and the northern reaches of the Angeles National Forest. Surveyed in 1932 with 1950 culture revisions, the map reveals a landscape defined by critical infrastructure and isolated geography. The Los Angeles Aqueduct winds through the terrain, feeding into the Fairmont Reservoir, a vital node for the region's water management. The topography is anchored by prominent landmarks such as Fairmont Butte, Antelope Buttes, and the Little Buttes, while the southern portion is deeply incised by drainages like Kings Canyon, Bleich Canyon, and Broad Canyon. A grid of rural avenues, including Avenue A and Avenue D, stretches across the valley, illustrating early agricultural and residential parceling along the Kern and Los Angeles County border.
