1950 Map of Reward

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Industrial operations and livestock ranching define this high-desert landscape in western Kern County, where the Temblor Range meets the oil-rich basin floor. The map highlights the extensive energy infrastructure of the mid-20th century, dominated by oil wells, tanks, and pipelines operated by major firms like Standard Oil, Union Oil, and the Tidewater Associated Oil company. This concentrated industrial activity contrasts with the isolated life at the Cooper Ranch and the small settlements of Reward and McKittrick.
