1954 Map of Wells Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Agricultural life in the mid-1950s California high desert is centered on remote outposts like the Kern County Land Co Ranch and Wells Ranch. This landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the flat, dry expanses of the Carrizo Plain and Elkhorn Plain into the complex drainages of the Caliente Range. Ranching infrastructure is prominent, with several Grain Tanks and isolated Corrals scattered across the plains, while the presence of The Old Adobe suggests an older layer of habitation in this arid environment.
