USGS Topo · Published 1969About this map
The massive Naval Petroleum Reserve No 1 and Naval Petroleum Reserve No 2 dominate this Kern County landscape, reflecting the intensive energy production of the mid-century era. At the center of this industrial activity is Taft, surrounded by a cluster of secondary settlements including Ford City, Taft Heights, and South Taft. The landscape is a complex network of resource extraction infrastructure, evidenced by numerous oil sumps, a large Standard Oil Tank Farm, and several specialized residential enclaves such as Honolulu Oil Main Camp and Standard Oil Camp 1-C.
