Asphalto

Kern County, CA

Coordinate verified

Historical asphaltum / oil-country settlement on the west side of the southern San Joaquin Valley near the McKittrick–Taft mineral belt. A field-history pin for an industrial landscape that helped fuel early California paving and petroleum culture—not a downtown civic site.
