2018 Map of Lamont

About this map

Bakersfield and its southeastern environs appear as a complex grid of residential development, agriculture, and water management in the San Joaquin Valley. The map shows a transition from the dense urban streets near Union Cem and St John's Ch to the industrial and agricultural corridors along the Union Pacific rail lines. Settlements like Magunden and Algoso are prominent along the Edison Hwy corridor, while the southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the concentrated community of Lamont. This area illustrates the vital role of irrigation in the Central Valley through the presence of the E Side Canal and the Central Br Kern Island Canal, which cut through the landscape to support the surrounding orchards and fields near Ribier and Patch.
