1973 Map of Sanborn

About this map

Fremont Valley dominates this high-desert landscape in Kern County, illustrating the early structural layout of a planned mid-century community. The map shows the Corporate City Boundary of California City, where the ambitious grid of Yerba Blvd and its surrounding residential tracts began to etch into the arid terrain. While much of the land remains undeveloped desert floor, the infrastructure of the era is evident through a network of Pipelines and specialized industrial sites including numerous Dry Wells, an Observation Well, and a Radio Facility.
