1972 Map of Oiler Peak

About this map

Oiler Peak stands as the high point in this landscape of steep canyons and scattered springs along the Kern and California borderlands. The topography is defined by the winding course of Caliente Creek, which carves through the terrain past distinctive locations like the Devils Elbow and a historic Fig Orchard. This 1970s survey reveals a working landscape where transportation and resource extraction intersect, evidenced by the Southern Pacific railroad line skirting the southern boundary and the Aunt Rosa Mines tucked into the eastern ridges.
