1944 Map of West Elk Hills

USGS Topo · Published 1945

About this map

Naval Petroleum Reserve No 2 dominates the southern landscape of this 1940s survey, illustrating the strategic importance of the California oil fields during the war years. The terrain transitions from the low-lying Mc Kittrick Valley up into the prominent ridges of the Elk Hills, where Hillcrest Point (West Elk) stands as a clear landmark. The industrial footprint of the era is evident through the Standard Oil Co Lokern Pumping Sta and a major Power Line cutting across the northern flats.
