The attributes for "Kern River Channel" and "Goose Lake" were taken from the context of the USGS 1:250,000 Scale Bakersfield map. The remaining attribute names should be accurate according to the source map. Arcs connect to each other at nodes. Arcs have direction and left and right sides. Arcs that connect to surround an area define a polygon. The source map showed one continous body of water for the polygons labelled as "Kern River Channel", "Buena Vista Lake", and "Kern Lake". What appeared to be the edges of "Buena Vista Lake" were used to split this into three separate polygon features. The source map was an scanned 8.5 by 11 page. The control points used for registering the scanned image were very approximate locations of river intersections. The accuracy is not suitable for large scale mapping and it is not recomended for purposes other than general illustrations of the lake locations. Griggs, F.T., J.M. Zaninovich, and G.D.
