About this map

Pyramid Hills and the surrounding Kettleman Plain define this mid-century portrait of California's energy and mineral landscape. Located along the border of Kings and Kern Counties, the region shows a dense concentration of Oil Wells and infrastructure including the Dudley Pumping Sta and the Pyramid Hills Microwave Relay Sta. The presence of Gypsum Quarries in the north and the Cottonwood Pumping Sta near the southern ridge highlights the diverse industrial activity of the era.
