USGS Topo · Published 1956About this map
The Southern Pacific railroad creates a high-altitude transportation corridor through the Kern County landscape, connecting the agricultural valley to the high desert. This 1943 survey documents the industrial activity concentrated around Monolith, where a Cement Plant and nearby Quarry operations utilize the mineral deposits of the Tehachapi Mountains. The city of Tehachapi serves as a central hub, flanked by specialized infrastructure including Kern County Airport No 4 and the vital Los Angeles Aqueduct cutting across the southern terrain.
