1943 Map of Pyramid Hills

USGS Topo · Published 1943

About this map

The McClure Valley and the Kettleman Plain dominate this 1940s landscape, illustrating the intersection of California's agricultural expansion and early oil industry. The boundary between Kings and Kern counties bisects the terrain, which is defined by the sharp rise of the Pyramid Hills and the Tent Hills. Human settlement is sparse, centered around the Orchard Ranch and the home of A M Barker, suggesting a region where ranching and resource extraction were the primary drivers of development.
