1934 Map of West of Goose Lake

About this map

Lost Hills occupies the upper margin of this Kern County survey, serving as a hub for the early 1930s transport network in the San Joaquin Valley. The landscape is defined by the long, low ridge of the Lost Hills itself, which trends southeast across the terrain. To the east, the West Side Canal marks a sharp transition from the elevated ground to the lower valley floor. The map highlights the essential infrastructure of the era, including the Lost Hills Sch and the intersection of the Paso Robles Road with State Highway No 33. This detailed topographic study shows a region structured by water management and transit, where the straight lines of the State Highway No 138 cut across the natural contours of the Central Valley.
