1972 Map of Glennville

About this map

Glennville sits at the heart of this Kern County landscape, where the Linn Valley transition from ranch lands to the high peaks of the Sequoia National Forest is clearly visible. The area is defined by the headwaters of the White Poso River and Poso Creek, which feed smaller reservoirs such as Lake Marion and Lake Stockton. For local historians, the map documents significant landmarks including the Glennville Adobe and the Oak Grove Cemetery, alongside rural infrastructure like the Linn Valley School and the landing strip. To the east and south, the terrain becomes increasingly complex around Fulton Peak and Basket Peak, where a network of trails and jeep tracks connects remote points like Basket Pass and Lackey Place. The presence of a Substation and Diversion Dam underscores the management of water and power in this foothills environment during the early 1970s.
