1954 Map of Lost Hills NW

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The rising topography of the Lost Hills defines this portion of the San Joaquin Valley, where industrial activity and water management intersect. While the northern reaches of the map are dominated by the Kern River Channel and a network of levee and pipeline infrastructure, the southern portion reveals the intensive oil extraction landscape near the settlement of Lost Hills. The mapping of numerous Oil Sumps, Tanks, and Pumping Station locations provides a clear picture of the mid-century petroleum industry in Kern County.
