About this map

The McKittrick Oil Wells dominate this 1951 landscape, illustrating the intense industrial footprint of the petroleum industry in the southwestern San Joaquin Valley. Clusters of tanks, sumps, and pipe lines crisscross the terrain between the Temblor Range and the Telephone Hills, marking the active operations of major producers like Standard Oil Co, Union Oil, and Tidewater Associated Oil. The small settlement of Reward and the Olig School serve as central points for the workers and families tied to the oil fields, while the Sou Pac railroad provides the vital link for moving resources out of the region.
