About this map

Naval Petroleum Reserve No 1 and Naval Petroleum Reserve No 2 dominate this industrial landscape in the Kern County oil fields during the early 1930s. The map captures a transitional hydraulic environment where the Buena Vista Lake Bed is managed through an engineered system of an Inlet Canal and Outlet, diverting the Kern River to support the region's intense resource extraction.
