2015 Map of Pond

About this map

San Joaquin Valley agriculture dominates this portion of Kern County, where a rigid grid of rural roads connects several established farming communities. The settlement of Pond sits at the intersection of Pond Rd and Wasco-Pond Rd, serving as a central point for the surrounding fields. To the south, Elmo is positioned along the Elmo Hwy, while the larger centers of Delano and McFarland appear at the northern and eastern margins. The natural hydrology of Poso Creek meanders through the southern landscape, contrasting with the engineered precision of the Callaway Canal. This geography highlights the intensive land use of the Central Valley, where named thoroughfares like Airport Ave and Woollomes Ave define the boundaries of large agricultural tracts and irrigation networks.
