About this map

La Liebre dominates the southern landscape of this 1960s survey, defined by a complex network of seasonal drainages and steep canyons in Kern County. The terrain is carved by features such as Little Oak Canyon and Woodchoppers Canyon, leading toward the distinct peaks of the Liebre Twins. This is a landscape of limited human infrastructure, where water management is central to the area's utility, evidenced by the scattered Water Tanks, Springs, and a single Well located in the southwest.

Remote activity is visible through a Quarry situated near the head of Cañada del Agua Escondida, accessible only by an extensive network of Jeep Trails. To the north, Cottonwood Creek and Twin Lakes suggest localized pockets of water in an otherwise arid environment. The map captures a moment when the region remained largely undeveloped, used primarily for resource extraction or grazing under the administration of the State of California Department of Water Resources.
