1950 Map of Kettleman Plain

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

Kettleman Plain serves as the central trough in this 1950 edition based on 1930 surveys, showing the landscape of the California oil industry before mid-century expansion. The map details the transition from the steep elevations of Reef Ridge and Sunflower Valley in the southwest to the petroleum-bearing heights of the Kettleman Hills in the northeast. This area, particularly the North Dome, is defined by its industrial geography, highlighted by a lone Oil Pumping Sta and the specialized naming of Drillers Ridge and Bullwheel Ridge.
