Isabella Dam
UPDATED ANTICIPATED AREAS TO BE FLOODED IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT THE ISABELLA DAM FAILS
In early 2008, the United States Army Corps of Engineers completed the initial preparation of an updated map which shows the areas around metropolitan Bakersfield which would likely be flooded in the unlikely case that the Dam should fail at Lake Isabella. As part of the maps provided the County, they have also included maps which show the anticipated depth and velocity of water and the anticipated time when the flows could reach the Bakersfield area if a failure of the dam occurred.
More experienced users may also view the information in the County's interactive GIS. The County's interactive GIS also contains the maps which were prepared in the early 1970s by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers that shows the areas of Kern County which could be affected should the dam fail on Lake Isabella, Jacobsen Lake in the Cummings Valley area and Berrenda Mesa Lake north of Lost Hills.
