1950 Map of Mouth of Kern

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

The industrial and hydraulic transformation of the San Joaquin Valley is evident in this mid-century survey, which reveals a landscape dominated by resource extraction and water management. The vast Buena Vista Lake Bed occupies the central portion of the map, showing an Old Approximate Shoreline that traces the historical extent of what was once a significant terminal lake. By this era, the basin has been largely repurposed for industrial and agricultural use, featuring a large Reservoir and the California Aqueduquet cutting through the terrain.
