1953 Map of Pentland

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Oil Wells and industrial infrastructure dominate this portion of the southern San Joaquin Valley during a period of significant petroleum extraction. The landscape is a study in utility, where the sprawling Maricopa Flat is etched with a network of pipelines, oil sumps, and oil tanks. The presence of the Maricopa-Sunset Airport and the nearby Gardner Field (Aban'd)—a former military training base—illustrates the region's mid-century aviation and defense activity.
