2012 Map of Rosedale

About this map

The agricultural and industrial character of the southern San Joaquin Valley is well-defined by the extensive network of irrigation and petroleum infrastructure in this Kern County landscape. The Calloway Canal and Friant-Kern Canal navigate the terrain, providing essential water to the surrounding fields and the Arkelo Ranch. This 2012 record captures a region where rail-side settlements like Cawelo, Lerdo, and Prospero align with the transportation corridor, while the Greeley Oil Field and Rosedale Oil Field illustrate the area's significant energy production legacy. Near the western edge of the quadrangle, Shafter Cem serves as a grounded point for genealogical research, situated amidst a grid of rural roads such as 7th Standard Rd and S Central Valley Hwy. Small crossroads like Hights Corner, Crome, and Una further delineate the local geography, showing the distribution of small-scale hubs across the productive valley floor.
