About this map

Goose Lake Bed dominates the central landscape of this Kern County survey, reflecting an era where the hydrology of the San Joaquin Valley was heavily managed by an intricate network of irrigation and drainage infrastructure. Water management is the primary driver of the region's layout, seen in the alignment of the Main Canal, East Side Canal, and the Kern River Flood Canal. These waterways supported a collection of mid-century agricultural operations, from the Estrada Ranch in the north to the Blue Moon Ranch and Dudley Ranch further south.
