About this map

Cole Ranch and Miramonte Ranch define the agricultural landscape of this northern Kern County region during the early 2010s. The area is characterized by a precise grid of rural thoroughfares such as Corcoran Rd and Pond Rd, which facilitate the operations of large-scale dairy production. Significant facilities including Boschma and Sons Dairy and the Poso Creek Family Dairy are prominent features in this industrial farming zone.

Water management is central to the terrain, evidenced by the prominent course of the Goose Lake Canal and the natural meandering path of Poso Cr. The presence of Gun Club Rd suggests the local importance of recreational hunting grounds alongside these major irrigation and ranching developments. This map provides a detailed view of the infrastructure supporting California's Central Valley dairy and ranching economy.
