1933 Map of Kettleman Plain

USGS Topo · Published 1933

About this map

The Kettleman Plain appears here in the early 1930s as a high-desert landscape defined by the intersection of industrial development and geological isolation. The survey, conducted by topographic engineers including E. P. Davis, reveals a terrain shaped by the search for oil, most notably marked by the Oil Pumping Sta at the junction of two major regional arteries. These routes, the Coalinga Bakersfield State Highway No 138 and the Paso Robles Lemoore State Highway No 125, slice diagonally across the basin, providing the primary link between the Kettleman Hills and Mc Lure Valley.
