2018 Map of Rosedale

About this map

San Joaquin Valley agriculture and the northward expansion of Bakersfield define this landscape in the early 21st century. The map illustrates a highly organized grid of roads and irrigation infrastructure essential to the region's productivity, notably the Calloway Canal and the Friant-Kern Canal. Smaller communities and transit points like Shafter, Cawelo, and Lerdo are scattered across the northern reaches, while the southeastern corner shows the increasing density of residential developments in Rosedale and Central Valley. This survey captures the transition of traditional farmland into suburban neighborhoods, particularly evident near Hights Corner and Crome. Genealogists may find interest in the Shafter Cem located along Santa Fe Way, while the detailed street naming provides a clear record of local property divisions and development during this period of growth.
