2018 Map of North of Oildale

About this map

The San Joaquin Valley Central Valley meets the lower foothills of the Sierras north of Oildale, revealing a landscape defined by industrial agriculture and the early rises of the Kern County oil fields. Flowing through the center of this terrain, Poso Cr carves a path through the rolling hills, flanked by a network of ranching and utility roads such as Poso Ranch Rd and Mount Poso Conservation Plant Rd. The transition from the flat agricultural plains to the east is marked by prominent local heights like Mt Poso and Brushy Hill. This 2018 survey illustrates the complex intersection of land use, from the orchards along Almond Blossom Rd to the more remote passes like Emigrant Pass Rd.
