Description
Photograph of an exterior view of an adobe on Rancho Temblor, Bakersfield, 1935. The stripped frame of an early automobile is pictured in the foreground just right of center, beneath the boughs of a looming tree. In the background at center, a small, ranch-style house is partially visible, covered in clapboard siding. Separating the two areas is a length of chickenwire fence whose wooden picket gate can also be seen directly at center.; Northwest of McKittrick in the Temblor Mountains the adobe was one of the aguajes or water holes along Camino Viego. Tradition says that while a party of early Spanish explorers camped here an earthquake rent the earth and a copious spring of water ran from the earth. The country is almost devoid of foliation, but at this place immense cottonwoods, some measuring ten feet through the trunk, and fig trees, some measuring more than five feet through the trunk, surround the deserted ranch buildings. The road to the ranch runs through the lease of the Outpost Oil Company in the Temblor Oil Field.
