1953 Map of Pentland

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Oil Wells and a complex network of pipelines dominate this mid-century landscape in the southern San Joaquin Valley. The industrial footprint of the petroleum industry is evident across Maricopa Flat, where dozens of individual Wells and oil sumps are clustered near the Sunset Railroad and the small settlement of Pentland. In addition to the energy infrastructure, the map documents a major water project with the California Aqueduct shown as it was being built across the terrain.
