1933 Map of Oil Center

USGS Topo · Published 1933

About this map

The Kern River Oil Field dominates this 1930s landscape, illustrating the industrial footprint of petroleum extraction north of Bakersfield. The map captures the specialized infrastructure of the era, from the concentration of workers at the Oil Center (P.O.) to small company-driven settlements like Oil City and Treadwell. The social fabric of these oil communities is revealed through localized institutions such as Petroleum Sch, Aztec Sch, and Toltec Sch.
