Description

Kern County is the twenty-seventh book in a series of books on Mines of the American West and the seventh on counties in California. This book contains almost 2,000 entries covering mines, historic mining companies and associated lore in Kern County. The books are intended for the use of small miners, "rockhounds", metal-detector enthusiasts, hikers, campers, off-roaders and others. Modern GPS coordinates, most of which are from USGS records, have been associated with the majority of the records to allow the reader to do a little "prospecting from their computer", using available on-line tools. The electronic version of this book is searchable, by "key word", so if you want to look at the Gold mines in the County, you can search on Gold; or, if you want to find the mines on a specific USGS Quad map (24K, 100K or 250K), the name of the Quad map may be searched.In this book many of the locations have been reviewed using on-line tools, especially when attempting to locate the mine through the use of the coordinates. This allows the locations of the coordinate points to be visibly identified; and, in many cases the best ways to access them. Where I have been able to find a reference as to the "location accuracy" of the coordinates, I have included it. On-line mapping tools allow the reader to pursue their interests and review locations when the weather is bad or they only have limited blocks of time. It also will allow the reader to maximize their use of time when they can physically visit the areas, after getting permission of the Owners, when necessary. Also, as a benefit to physical site visitors, many of the mines have been grouped by Mining District, where such existed. This book also contains, in the introductory section, a discussion as to the accuracy of the USGS MRDS and MILS data, and a response from the USGS as to the quality of the data. Based on the comparisons I did and USGS response, I would caution readers from placing too much reliance on USGS data. The full text of the reply is included in the first part of the book, so it should be freely accessible, via the preview feature, for those interested.
