1934 Map of Reef Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1934

About this map

The boundary between Fresno Co and Kings Co bisects this 1934 survey, a region defined by the dramatic meeting of the Kettleman Plain and the sharp uplift of Reef Ridge. This topography dictated early settlement and industry, as seen in the presence of an Oil Pumping Station along the Coalinga-Bakersfield Road, marking the edge of the burgeoning California oil fields. Ranching life is documented through established sites like the Ernest Kreyenhagen Ranch and the Sagasar Ranch, while the Vones Ranch Adobe Ruins point to an even earlier era of habitation. In this arid landscape, the location of water was paramount for survival, noted by specific springs such as Wade Baxter Spr and Avenal Canyon Spring. Higher elevations leading toward Table Mtn and the Diablo Range provided grazing grounds, evidenced by Blacks Corral and isolated structures like the Rhodes Cabin.
