2012 Map of Grapevine

About this map

Old Fort Tejon anchors the southern end of this Kern County landscape, marking the historic pass where the San Joaquin Valley meets the mountains. The modern transportation corridor is dominated by the steep ascent through Grapevine Canyon, a path flanked by landmarks like Grapevine Peak and Johnson Canyon. This 2012 survey illustrates the complex infrastructure required for life in the valley, most notably the Governor Edmund G Brown California Aqueduct which cuts horizontally across the terrain to the north. Industrial and agricultural development is evident at Wheeler Ridge and the Tejon Oil Field, alongside the Tejon Ag Airport. Drainage patterns are clearly defined by seasonal watercourses such as Tecuya Cr, Salt Cr, and Grapevine Cr that flow from the steep canyons toward the valley floor.
