2015 Map of Fellows

About this map

Fellows and Midoil sit at the intersection of industry and geology on the western edge of the San Joaquin Valley. This landscape is defined by the sharp rise of the Temblor Range and the Buena Vista Hills, where the elevation climbs toward Midway Peak. The map reveals a dense network of utility and service roads, including Mocal Rd and Shale Rd, which navigate the deeply incised terrain of Hale McLeod Canyon and Seventeen Canyon. Near Derby Acres, the terrain levels out toward the Central Valley, showing the transition from the high ridges of the Telephone Hills to the alluvial plains. This area has long been a significant corridor for energy infrastructure, evidenced by the many named canyons and ridges that define the oil-rich geography along the Kern and San Luis Obispo county line.
