2021 Map of Famoso

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

Agricultural infrastructure and aviation history define this section of the Central Valley north of Bakersfield. The landscape is heavily marked by the water management systems of the Friant-Kern Canal, Lerdo Canal, and Calloway Canal, which irrigate the extensive grid of orchards and fields. Small settlements like Famoso, Slater, and Cawelo align with major transportation corridors, including the Famoso Porterville Hwy. A significant portion of the map is dedicated to aviation, featuring Shafter-Minter Field and Minter Village, the latter of which suggests a residential area developed around the airfield's activities. In the northeast, Poso Creek meanders toward the Poso-Kern County Airport, illustrating the coexistence of natural drainage and modern regional infrastructure in Kern County's highly developed agricultural interior.
