About this map

Agricultural irrigation networks dominate this landscape east of Bakersfield, where the East Side Canal and Central Branch Kern Island Canal feed a grid of dairy farms and industrial corridors. Large-scale operations such as Ansonia Dairy and T and J Dairy reflect the area's intensive dairy production, while the Bakersfield Municipal Airport and Valle Grande Public Golf Course mark the transition toward suburban development. Small named settlements and junctions like Magunden, Algoso, and Lonsmith cluster along the Edison Hwy and the rail corridor, serving as vital links in the region's transport economy. Further south, the community of Fuller Acres and the neighborhood of Harpertown stand as established residential pockets amidst the wide-reaching fields of the San Joaquin Valley. This era shows the dense infrastructure of Kern County, from the venerable Union Cem to the modern campus of Foothill High School.
