1955 Map of Weed Patch

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The Arvin Farm Labor Supply Center and the surrounding agricultural landscape of Kern County dominate this mid-century survey. This area is characterized by a dense network of water management features, including the Central Branch Kern Island Canal and the Kern Island Drain, which support the intensive farming and ranching operations like Greenfield Ranch. A remarkable social feature of this map is the high concentration of private hunting clubs in the wetlands near Lake Paulina, such as the Rancho De Los Patos Duck Club, Spoon Bill Duck Club, and the evocatively named Dust Bowl Duck Club.
