1937 Map of Kettleman City

About this map

Kettleman City and the emerging industrial footprint of the Kings County oil fields define this mid-1930s landscape. The map captures a critical transition as the dry expanse of the Tulare Lake Bed meets the rugged eastern slopes of the Kettleman Hills. Settlement patterns here are dominated by large-scale agricultural and petroleum interests, evidenced by the West Tulare Land Co and the cluster of activity around Milham City.
