2015 Map of Lamont

About this map

Bakersfield and its southeastern industrial and residential extensions appear in this mid-2010s survey, showing the complex web of irrigation and logistics essential to the southern San Joaquin Valley. The landscape is dominated by the grid of the city and its surrounding satellite settlements, such as Lamont, Magunden, and Harpertown. Water management is prominent throughout the quadrangle, with the Central Br Kern Island Canal and E Side Canal cutting across the agricultural and developed lands. The presence of the Bakersfield Municipal Airport and the historic Union Cem provide anchor points for local history researchers. This era shows the continued expansion of the valley's infrastructure, where names like Algoso, Kayandee, and Patch denote the small clusters of habitation and industry that have long characterized the Kern County interior.
