2012 Map of Maricopa

About this map

The Sunset Oil Field dominates this 2012 study of the southern San Joaquin Valley, reflecting the region's long-standing petroleum industrial landscape. The settlement of Maricopa sits at the junction of several specialized thoroughfares, including Petroleum Club Rd and Tannehill Lease Rd, while the Norwalk Oil Refinery and Maricopa Airport serve as central landmarks. To the east, the map identifies the location of Hazelton, situated near the drainage of Bitterwater Cr. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent rises such as Spellacy Hill, Twentyfive Hill, and the Little Signal Hills. To the south and west, the landscape transitions into the broader expanse of Sunset Valley and Beam Flat, where Bitterwater Spring provides a rare water source in this arid environment.
