1932 Map of Mouth of Kern

USGS Topo · Published 1948

About this map

Naval Petroleum Reserve No 1 and its southern counterpart, Naval Petroleum Reserve No 2, dominate the industrial landscape of Kern County in the late 1920s. This survey, conducted before the landscape was fully transformed by modern drainage, showcases the transition between natural hydrology and fossil fuel extraction. The massive expanse of the Buena Vista Lake Bed fills the central portion of the sheet, while the Inlet Canal and Outlet structures manage water flow adjacent to the Elk Hills.
