About this map

The settlement of Woody occupies a central position within this Kern County landscape, serving as a hub for local routes like Woody Rd and Williams Ranch Rd. The terrain is defined by the western slopes of the Sierra Nevada, where numerous gulches such as Howling Gulch and Four Springs Gulch carve through the foothills. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Blue Mountain Cem situated just north of the town site, a significant landmark for tracing early families of this ranching region.

Water sources are vital in this environment, with White River flowing in the northwest and various seasonal drainages including Wildcat Cr and Dead Ox Cr threading between prominent peaks like Blue Mtn and Iron Mtn. The map also details early twentieth-century infrastructure like Cannell Way and the branching network of roads that once connected remote homesteads and grazing lands across Woody Flats.
