1972 Map of Lake Isabella North

About this map

Wofford Heights and the burgeoning communities of Mountain Mesa and Squirrel Mountain Valley define the residential landscape surrounding the northern reaches of the reservoir. This 1972 survey, with later revisions, shows the intricate management of the Kern River and its Isabella Lake South Fork through massive infrastructure like the Isabella Main Dam and Isabella Auxiliary Dam. The map documents a period when recreational development was in full swing, evidenced by numerous facilities such as Tillie Creek Campground and several launch areas including Launch Ramp No 16.
