About this map

Gilbert Ranch and the open agricultural landscapes of the San Joaquin Valley define this 2012 survey. The area is heavily shaped by complex water management systems, including the Governor Edmund G Brown California Aqueduct and the Kern River Channel, alongside the Goose Lake Canal and W Side Canal. These features illustrate the infrastructure required to support large-scale ranching and farming in this arid region of Kern County.

Transportation and utility networks are prominent, with the Lost Hills-Kern County Airport serving as a local aviation hub. A grid of rural routes such as Twisselman Rd, Lost Hills Rd, and Pajeo Rd provides access across the plains toward the settlement of Lost Hills. The map provides a clear record of the valley’s industrial-scale irrigation and transit corridors as they existed in the early 21st century.
