About this map

Semitropic Ridge rises across this Kern County landscape, defining the topography in an area characterized by industrial activity and private sporting grounds during the mid-1950s. The western edge is dominated by the Goose Lake Canal and its associated levee, supporting a complex network of infrastructure including a notable Pumping Station and several Pipelines that traverse the terrain. While Cole Ranch stands as a primary named property, the sheet is most distinguished by its concentration of specialized recreational sites.

Private sporting clubs such as the Superior Gun Club, Donald Duck Gun Club, and Los Amigos Gun Club are clustered across the northern and eastern sections, often adjacent to water features like the Duck Ponds. This arrangement suggests a landscape where land use was strictly partitioned between resource extraction, evidenced by an Oil Well (Aban'd), and managed waterfowl hunting grounds in the California interior.
