About this map

Fellows and Derby Acres anchor this landscape along the western edge of the San Joaquin Valley Central Valley, where the valley floor meets the rising terrain of the Temblor Range. The map reveals a highly developed infrastructure of local roads like Mocal Rd, Shale Rd, and Bill Kirby Rd that crisscross the Buena Vista Hills, suggesting the intense industrial activity characteristic of this oil-rich region.

Evidence of the area's complex topography is found in the numerous named drainages, including Hale McLeod Canyon, Seventeen Canyon, and Twentyone Canyon, which cut through the hills south of the small settlement of Midoil. The boundary between Kern and San Luis Obispo Counties runs through the southwestern portion of the map, marked by prominent features such as Midway Peak and the high ridges overlooking the Buena Vista Valley.
