Historically, the earliest Bakersfield “urban” subdivisions were not called tracts. The downtown area was subdivided into blocks and lots. Early citywide maps show the city blocks numbered from 1 to over 700. Some blocks were designated by letters rather than numbers. Each block was further subdivided into numbered lots. Thereafter housing subdivisions were called tracts and initially were named (example; Lowell Addition). Many of these “Named” tracts were also subdivided into blocks and lots. The earliest rural land subdivisions are the Sales Map Lands of J. B. Haggin and the Sales Map Lands of the Kern County l Land Company. The legal description of most modern lots is comprised of some combination of the fields: Document Type, Map Number, Phase and Lot Number. A “Block” field should be added for old parcels whose legal description is comprised of tract, block and lot (or just block and lot). The legal description fields for most of the older parcels are not populated at this time.

All COGO’d parcels are considered “Excellent” quality User Flag This field is for temporary data storage. However the following user flag values provide information about how the parcel features originally built or subsequently edited: CAD CONVERSION - parcels were developed from georeferenced CAD data. Quality is considered excellent. COGO - parcels were first developed employing COGO editing tools. Quality is considered excellent REBUILT - parcels were originally Valleywide GIS features that were rebuilt using COGO and other editing tools. Quality is considered excellent except parcels that were rebuilt where only assessor maps were available. SHIFTED - original parcels were considered geometrically adequate but required a slight positional shift. Whole blocks of contiguous lots were shifted together. Quality is considered good. Class(Domain)This field provides an opportunity to classify lots for specific purposes. The Private road lot class was created so these lots could be neglected when exporting parcels for the Community Maps Project. Landscape lot Private road lot School lot Sump lot Water Well lot Additional classes could be developed. For the vast majority of parcels the class field is not populated. Address The street address of a lot can be populated if the address point feature class objects have already been created and populated by the GIS Analyst at Community Development. Where there are multiple addresses on a parcel, this data is captured on the Address Point feature class. Assessor Parcel Number (APN) and Assessor Tax Numbers (ATN)The most important parcel layer attributes are the APN and ATN values that are assigned by the Kern County Assessor. An 8 digit APN is assigned to a property that has a specific geometry as defined by a legal description. If any new change occurs such as a lot line adjustment, then the geometry of the parcel(s) are changed and the APN’s for the affected properties are dropped and are never re-assigned. New unique APN’s are assigned to the affected properties and remain as long as the legal description of the geometry does not change. It usually takes at least a few months after a tract is recorded and the parcel feature class objects are developed before the County assigns APN’s to those parcels. The APN field is populated with “NEW” until such time as values are assigned. Parcel APNs can be acquired from the following sources: https://kernpublicworks.com/maps/parcel-maps/, Preliminary (January) and final (July) Kern County parcel GIS releases. Some Condominium common areas do not have an APN. The APN field is populated with “CONDOLOT”. These parcels are retained in order to preserve road right of ways. Compare City parcel layer features with County features to visualize why we retain these parcels.

An agricultural preserve defines the boundary of an area within which a city or county will enter into contracts with landowners. The boundary is designated by resolution of the board of supervisors (board) or city council (council) having jurisdiction. Only land located within an agricultural preserve is eligible for a Williamson Act contract. Preserves are regulated by rules and restrictions designated in the resolution to ensure that the land within the preserve is maintained for agricultural or open space use (California Dept. of Conservation)."This should be used with the "agricultural preserve boundary" layer to determine what property is eligible for a Williamson Act contract.Last Updated 4/30/2025

The District boundary definitions are primarily based on the California county boundaries. The Board of Equalization (BOE) County and City Boundary web service is the authoritative source of County boundaries and this was used to digitize the district boundaries based on the data from March 2023. This data is solely for informational purposes. District 9 has been operating independent of the Central Region since November 1, 2015. Kern County remains the only split county in the state, between Districts 6 and 9 respectively. The BOE data was also used to create the district boundary layers along the coastline.
Version InformationThe data is updated annually with fire perimeters from the previous calendar year.Firep23_1 was released in May 2024. Two hundred eighty four fires from the 2023 fire season were added to the database (21 from BLM, 102 from CAL FIRE, 72 from Contract Counties, 19 from LRA, 9 from NPS, 57 from USFS and 4 from USFW). The 2020 Cottonwood fire, 2021 Lone Rock and Union fires, as well as the 2022 Lost Lake fire were added. USFW submitted a higher accuracy perimeter to replace the 2022 River perimeter. A duplicate 2020 Erbes fire was removed. Additionally, 48 perimeters were digitized from an historical map included in a publication from Weeks, d. et al. The Utilization of El Dorado County Land. May 1934, Bulletin 572. University of California, Berkeley. There were 2,132 perimeters that received updated attribution, the bulk of which had IRWIN IDs added. The following fires were identified as meeting our collection criteria, but are not included in this version and will hopefully be added in the next update: Big Hill #2 (2023-CAHIA-001020). YEAR_ field changed to a short integer type. San Diego CAL FIRE UNIT_ID changed to SDU (the former code MVU is maintained in the UNIT_ID domains). COMPLEX_INCNUM renamed to COMPLEX_ID and is in process of transitioning from local incident number to the complex IRWIN ID. Perimeters managed in a complex in 2023 are added with the complex IRWIN ID. Those previously added will transition to complex IRWIN IDs in a future update.If you would like a full briefing on these adjustments, please contact the data steward, Kim Wallin (kimberly.wallin@fire.ca.gov), CAL FIRE FRAP._CAL FIRE (including contract counties), USDA Forest Service Region 5, USDI Bureau of Land Management & National Park Service, and other agencies jointly maintain a fire perimeter GIS layer for public and private lands throughout the state. The data covers fires back to 1878. Current criteria for data collection are as follows:CAL FIRE (including contract counties) submit perimeters ≥10 acres in timber, ≥50 acres in brush, or ≥300 acres in grass, and/or ≥3 damaged/ destroyed residential or commercial structures, and/or caused ≥1 fatality.All cooperating agencies submit perimeters ≥10 acres._Discrepancies between wildfire perimeter data and CAL FIRE Redbook Large Damaging FiresLarge Damaging fires in California were first defined by the CAL FIRE Redbook, and has changed over time, and differs from the definition initially used to define wildfires required to be submitted for the initial compilation of this digital fire perimeter data. In contrast, the definition of fires whose perimeter should be collected has changed once in the approximately 30 years the data has been in existence. Below are descriptions of changes in data collection criteria used when compiling these two datasets. To facilitate comparison, this metadata includes a summary, by year, of fires in the Redbook, that do not appear in this fire perimeter dataset.

These vector contour lines are derived from the 3D Elevation Program using automated and semi-automated processes. They were created to support 1:24,000-scale CONUS and Hawaii, 1:25,000-scale Alaska, and 1:20,000-scale Puerto Rico / US Virgin Island topographic map products, but are also published in this GIS vector format. Contour intervals are assigned by 7.5-minute quadrangle, so this vector dataset is not visually seamless across quadrangle boundaries. The vector lines have elevation attributes (in feet above mean sea level on NAVD88), but this dataset does not carry line symbols or annotation.Metadata Link for the USGS 1/3 arc-second Contour Downloadable Data Collectionhttps://www.sciencebase.gov/catalog/file/get/4f70ab22e4b058caae3f8deb?f=_disk_35%2F1e%2F20%2F351e2044b02ae4f163c2cdcaa66fda19a32a4ba4&transform=1&allowOpen=true
The project leads for the collection of this data were Julie Garcia and Evan King. Mule deer (32 adult females) from the Kern River herd were captured and equipped with Lotek LiteTrack Iridium collars, transmitting data from 2020-2021. GPS fixes were set for 2-hour intervals. The Kern River herd migrates from winter ranges in Sequoia National Forest north of Johnsondale and east of Slate Mountain northward to the area around Redrocks Meadows and along the Kern Canyon ridgeline to Sequoia National Park. Due to a high percentage of poor fixes, likely due to highly variable topographic terrain, between 2-18 percent of GPS locations per deer were fixed in 2-dimensional space and removed to ensure locational accuracy. The methodology used for this migration analysis allowed for the mapping of winter ranges and the identification of migration corridors and stopovers. Brownian Bridge Movement Models (BBMMs; Sawyer et al. 2009) were constructed with GPS collar data from 27 migrating deer, including 69 migration sequences, location, date, time, and average location error as inputs in Migration Mapper. The average migration time and average migration distance for deer was 15.38 days and 32.13 km, respectively. Corridors and stopovers were prioritized based on the number of animals moving through a particular area. Separate models using Brownian bridge movement models (BMMM) and fixed motion variances of 1000 were produced per migration sequence and compared for the entire dataset, with best models being combined prior to population-level analyses (10 percent of sequences selected with BMMM). Corridors were produced at a spatial resolution of 50 m using a sequential fix interval of less than 27 hours. Winter range analyses were based on data from 27 individual deer and 60 wintering sequences using a fixed motion variance of 1000. Winter range designations for this herd may expand with a larger sample, filling in some of the gaps between winter range polygons in the map. Additional migration routes and winter range areas likely exist beyond what was modeled in our output.Corridors are visualized based on deer use per cell in the BBMMs, with greater than or equal to 1 deer, greater than or equal to 3 deer (10 percent of the sample), and greater than or equal to 6 deer (20 percent of the sample) representing migration corridors, moderate use, and high use corridors, respectively. Stopovers were calculated as the top 10 percent of the population level utilization distribution during migrations and can be interpreted as high use areas. Stopover polygon areas less than 20,000 m2 were removed, but remaining small stopovers may be interpreted as short-term resting sites, likely based on a small concentration of points from an individual animal. Winter range is visualized as the 50th percentile contour of the winter range utilization distribution.

Version Information:The data is updated yearly with fire perimeters from the previous fire season.Firep21_2 was released in October 2022. The fields COMPLEX_NAME and COMPLEX_INCNUM were added to the dataset; historical complex fires were updated as such to the best of current ability. COMPLEX_NAME is for fires that were initially individual fires (with their own name) and then became part of a complex and thus were given a new name. COMPLEX_INCNUM was created for the same reason as COMPLEX_NAME. Ten fires were added (5 CAL FIRE, 5 USDA Forest Service). The 2008 Paradise Fire perimeter was spatially adjusted to more accurately account for its location. Six perimeters were removed, becoming a complex. The 1996 Columbia Hill and Shields Camp perimeters were removed due to confirmation of their status of prescribed burn. The 2014 Coffee fire was replaced by a more accurate polygon. Thirty-two records' attributes were updated, mostly CAUSE data from 2019 and 2020. The following fires were identified as meeting our collection criteria for 2021 fires but are not included in this version and will hopefully be added in the next update: Hartman, Lone Rock, Union, and Nelson. If you would like a full briefing on these adjustments, please contact CAL FIRE FRAP._CAL FIRE (including contract counties), USDA Forest Service Region 5, USDI Bureau of Land Management & National Park Service, and other agencies jointly maintain a comprehensive fire perimeter GIS layer for public and private lands throughout the state. The data covers fires back to 1878. Current criteria for data collection are as follows:CAL FIRE (including contract counties) submit perimeters ≥10 acres in timber, ≥50 acres in brush, or ≥300 acres in grass, and/or ≥3 damaged/ destroyed residential or commercial structures, and/or caused ≥1 fatality.All cooperating agencies submit perimeters ≥10 acres. _Discrepancies between wildfire perimeter data and Redbook Large Damaging FiresLarge Damaging fires in California were first defined by the 1979 Redbook. The definition of “Large Damaging” fires used by CAL FIRE has changed over time and differs from the definition initially used when compiling this digital Fire Perimeter data. In contrast, the definition of fires whose perimeter should be collected has changed once in the approximately 30 years the data has been in existence. Below are descriptions of changes in data collection criteria used when compiling these two datasets.

In order to provide an accurate data set of service area boundaries for California drinking water systems, the Division of Drinking Water of the California Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB DDW) has undertaken a project to vet and verify the data collected by the Tracking California's Water Boundary Tool (WBT).Note: This feature layer is updated on a regular basis. However, in some locations where it is shared, it shows the “Data Updated” date as the last time the item has changed, not the data. To accurately determine when the data was last updated, open the data table and sort by Last Edited Date field.SWRCB DDW downloaded a copy of the current water system service areas loaded in the WBT as of June 27, 2019. Additional attribute fields indicating verification status, verification staff and system type were appended to the data set. SWRCB DDW staff are reviewing and validating the displayed boundaries of each service area as well as contacting the service providers regarding necessary corrections. The verification status of any particular service area may be found in the Verification Status field.For any questions regarding this dataset, please contact the Data Support Unit at DDW-DSU@waterboards.ca.gov.
This data comes from Kern County Fire. The City GIS checks once a year on July 1st.
This feature class contains center lines for many of the public and private roads, dirt roads, and highways in the County of Kern. The data includes road names, address range, road type, road class, and municipal information.
