About this map

Semitropic Ridge and the Lost Hills define this Kern County landscape as it appeared in the late 1920s. This survey reveals a terrain dominated by an extensive network of specialized hunting clubs, reflecting the regional importance of seasonal waterfowl habitat. Landmarks such as the General Petroleum Gun Club, Sierra Gun Club, and El Cinco Gun Club occupy large, gridded sections of the valley floor.

Agricultural and industrial development is evident through the presence of the Goose Lake Canal and a dedicated Water Pumping Station. Local social and cultural history is anchored by the Miramonte Ranch and Hamlin School, while the identification of an Indian Burial Mound provides a connection to the area's deeper indigenous past. The alignment of Corcoran Road serves as the primary north-south artery through this complex of marshlands and ridges.
