2015 Map of Lost Hills NW

About this map

The San Joaquin Valley landscape here is defined by complex water management and transportation infrastructure near Lost Hills. This 2015 survey details the engineered path of the Governor Edmund G Brown California Aqueduct as it cuts diagonally across the basin, contrasting with the natural and modified paths of the Kern River Channel and the Goose Lake Canal. The intersection of agriculture and aviation is evident at the Lost Hills-Kern County Airport, situated along Lost Hills Rd. This portion of the Central Valley shows a strictly partitioned landscape, where section lines and roads like Twisselman Rd organize the industrial-scale farming operations characteristic of the region. The map provides a precise record of the topography and hydrology in this vital agricultural corridor during the early 21st century.
