About this map

Kern River Oil Field dominates the landscape of this 1954 survey, which covers the northern reaches of Bakersfield and its industrial outskirts during a period of significant mid-century expansion. The map details the dense network of tanks and pipelines serving oil industry hubs like Oil Center, Oil City, and Maltha. Along the winding Kern River, the transition from industrial extraction to civic recreation is evident at the Hart Memorial Unit and Kern River State Park.
