1950 Map of Stevens

About this map

The agricultural and industrial heart of Kern County unfolds across this 1950 survey, where the braided channels of the Kern River intersect an intricate network of irrigation systems. The landscape is defined by human management of water, with essential arteries like the Rio Bravo Canal, Pioneer Canal, and Buena Vista Canal carving through the valley floor to support local farms. The infrastructure of the Central Valley's energy and education sectors is visible at the Rio Bravo Oil Pumping Sta and local schoolhouses including Munzer Sch and Buena Vista Sch. Transport and commerce follow the Southern Pacific railroad line, which connects the small settlements of Strand and Stevens. This map provides a look at the mid-century development of the region, anchored by major thoroughfares such as Taft Highway and Panama Lane.
