1933 Map of Kettleman City
USGS Topo · Published 1933About this map
The Kettleman Hills rise sharply above the flat expanse of the Tulare Lake Bed, defining a landscape of rapid industrial expansion and early agricultural infrastructure. Surveyed in the early 1930s, this area centers on the nascent Kettleman City and the nearby Milham City, documenting a moment when oil exploration and large-scale ranching began to dominate the Kings County terrain. Dozens of oil wells dot the western slopes, while the eastern flats are carved by irrigation works like the Blakeley Canal and the holdings of the West Tulare Land Co.
