About this map

Naval Petroleum Reserve No 1 dominates this topographic study of Kern County, highlighting an era when strategic energy reserves shaped the California interior. The map illustrates a landscape transitioning from the open terrain of the Elk Hills to the industrial hubs of McKittrick and the settlement of Asphalto. This 1950 edition, based on earlier field surveys by E. P. Davis and C. A. Stonesifer, reveals the critical infrastructure supporting the region's petroleum extraction.
