Summary[edit]

Description
English: Satellite image of Mojave Desert (right), Tehachapi Mountains (Transverse Ranges) (center) and the southermost part of San Joaquin Valley (top left) in California. Mostly Kern County, the southermost part Los Angeles County.

On July 1, 2019, Operational Land Imager (OLI) on NASA's Landsat 8 acquired this image.

Well visible landmarks: Bakersfield and the farmlands of San Joaquin Valley (top left). Tehachapi Pass (center). To the right of it, a massive amount of wind turbines (mostly Alta Wind Energy Center, one of the biggest wind farms in the world), which are connected by both straight and sinuous access roads. Rogers Dry Lake (bottom right) with Edwards Air Force Base, where the first Space Shuttle landed (then back-up landing site to Kennedy Space Center, Florida).
