Maricopa

Maricopa lies along the southwestern margin of the San Joaquin Valley, where its broad, dry floor rises toward the Temblor Range. This small Kern County community stands on State Route 166, which crosses the Coast Ranges toward the Cuyama Valley and California’s Central Coast. Petroleum development has long shaped western Kern County; the nearby Midway-Sunset Oil Field ranks among the largest oil fields in the United States. Maricopa is a useful point of orientation in a working landscape of highways, rangeland and oil infrastructure.
