1950 Map of Taft
USGS Topo · Published 1976About this map
Naval Petroleum Reserve No 1 and Naval Petroleum Reserve No 2 dominate the landscape of the Elk Hills, where an intensive network of oil infrastructure defines the local economy. The 1950s data, updated with 1970s revisions, shows the development of Taft alongside its satellite communities of Ford City, Taft Heights, and South Taft. This area is characterized by numerous company outposts, including Standard Oil Camp 11-C and the Honolulu Oil Main Camp, reflecting a period when industrial workforce housing was integrated directly into the oil fields.
