1951 Map of Fellows
USGS Topo · Published 1951About this map
Naval Petroleum Reserve No 2 dominates the high desert terrain of the Buena Vista Hills in this early 1950s survey. The landscape is defined by the extraction infrastructure of the era, with dense concentrations of Oil Wells and a network of pipelines serving the Midway Pumping Sta. The community of Fellows serves as the central hub, supported by the Midway School and company-specific residential outposts like Associated Oil Camp and Midway Oil Camp. To the west, the rugged elevations of the Temblor Range rise sharply, cut by steep drainages such as McLeod Canyon and Hale Canyon. This map documents a period when the local economy was inextricably tied to the federal petroleum reserves and the strategic energy needs of the post-war United States.
