1954 Map of Lost Hills NW

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

The topography of the Lost Hills in Kern County reveals a landscape defined by industrial development and water management during the mid-20th century. Scattered across the terrain are numerous Oil Wells, supported by a network of Oil Sumps and Oil Tanks that highlight the region's intensive petroleum extraction. The map also captures the essential infrastructure of California's Central Valley, including the prominent path of the California Aqueduct and the older Kern River Channel. Settlement is sparse, with the Gilbert Ranch serving as a primary point of reference in an area otherwise dedicated to resource management. Notable utility and transportation features like the Lost Hills Airport, various Pipelines, and a Pumping Station illustrate the engineered nature of this arid environment, where Water Tanks and a Reservoir provide critical resources for the local industry.
