1934 Map of West of Goose Lake

About this map

Lost Hills occupies the northern edge of this Kern County survey, situated at the junction of the State Highway Paso Robles Road and the route heading south through the prominent ridge of the Lost Hills. The community is anchored by the Lost Hills Sch, serving a landscape defined by sharp topographic relief to the west and the engineered path of the West Side Canal to the east. This 1930s era topography shows the region during its development as a critical transportation corridor, with State Highway No 138 cutting through the southern portion of the quadrangle. The map captures a moment when the agricultural and transit infrastructure was being formalized, evidenced by the precise alignment of the canal and the emerging highway network.
