2021 Map of Shale Point

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

Alex Cook Spring and Napoleon Spring mark critical water points in the arid transition between the Temblor Range and the western edge of the San Joaquin Valley. This landscape is defined by its geological markers, from the eponymous Shale Point to the elevated ridges of the Shale Hills. The drainage pattern is characterized by seasonal watercourses like Media Agua Cr and Devilwater Cr, which descend toward the Antelope Plain. Human movement through this remote part of Kern County follows Bitterwater Valley Rd, skirting the wide expanse of Bitterwater Valley. The map illustrates the stark geography where the coastal ranges meet the expansive Central Valley floor, showing a territory primarily organized by the Public Land Survey System grids rather than dense settlement.
