1965 Map of Knob Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Mt Poso Oil Field and Round Mtn Oil Field dominate this part of the Kern County landscape, illustrating the mid-century industrial infrastructure of the region. The terrain is defined by a series of deep drainages including Granite Canyon, Adobe Canyon, and Sycamore Canyon, which carve through the high ground toward the Poso Creek valley. Human habitation is sparse, centered on small settlements like Halfway House and the namesake Knob Hill, alongside technical landmarks such as the Poso Canal. The mapping details a complex network of utility features, including numerous Water Tanks, Oil Sumps, and a Substation, reflecting the intense resource extraction occurring in the hills. Distinctive geological markers like Chalk Cliff and Mon Bluff provide navigational anchors in an area otherwise characterized by repetitive ridgelines and industrial access roads.
