About this map

The community of Lost Hills serves as a concentrated grid of residential streets within the expansive agricultural landscape of the San Joaquin Valley. This 2021 survey illustrates a region defined by massive water management infrastructure, most notably the Governor Edmund G Brown California Aqueduct as it snakes southward through the terrain. The presence of the Kern River Flood Canal, the Kern R Channel, and the W Side Canal indicates the intensive irrigation and flood control systems required to sustain the Central Valley's productive fields.

Local navigation follows a strict grid, from the town's street names like Fresno St and Tulare St to the long-distance industrial thoroughfares of Holloway Rd and Brown Material Rd. The map details the transition between the level valley floor and the namesake Lost Hills landform to the west, where the geometric precision of sections and township lines meets the undulating contours of the California interior.
