2021 Map of Sand Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

The Sierra Nevada meets the eastern edge of the San Joaquin Valley in this topographic study, revealing a landscape defined by seasonal drainages and cattle-range roads. The transition from the flat Central Valley floor into the rising foothills is marked by deeply incised canyons such as Sand Canyon and Horse Canyon. Local water sources, essential in this arid terrain, are identified at Willow Spring and Carver Spring. The map documents a complex network of ranching and utility roads, including the Bakersfield-Glennville Rd and Woody Rd, which navigate the various gulches like Coyote Gulch and Locked Gate Gulch. This 2021 update traces the modern footprint of Kern County's traditional grazing lands and the winding course of Five-Dog Cr as it flows toward the valley floor.
