1954 Map of Oildale
USGS Topo · Published 1956About this map
Oildale and northern Bakersfield sit at the heart of this mid-century landscape, where the petroleum industry and a complex irrigation network define the valley floor. Vast extractive operations such as the Kern River Oil Field and Kern Front Oil Field dominate the surrounding hills and plains, marked by dense clusters of wells, tanks, and sumps. The area's transit and logistics hub is centered at Oil Junction and the Kern County Airport, while the Southern Pacific and Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroads provide the heavy infrastructure for moving the region's oil and agricultural output.
