About this map

Lake Woollomes and the surrounding agricultural landscape of the San Joaquin Valley define this part of Kern County. The map details a strictly organized grid of orchards and fields, serviced by a sophisticated irrigation network including the Friant-Kern Canal and Calloway Canal. This infrastructure supports large-scale operations like the V B Ranch Dairy and the Raymond- Souche Ranch.

Transportation and small-scale settlements are clustered along the primary corridors, with Vinland and Hollis appearing as key points within the grid. The presence of the Delano Municipal Airport in the northwest corner highlights the area's role as a regional hub for both transit and agricultural logistics. Smaller, named locales such as Jasmin, Zentner, and Calico provide specific points of reference for local historians and genealogists tracking family landholdings in the Central Valley.
