I've been thinking of making maps for the Tulare Basin rivers for a while, and finally got around to trying one. I figured I'd start with the southernmost, the Kern River. Due to the strange nature of the Tulare Basin's hydrography, along with the major diversions and irrigation canals, dry lakes, etc, the map is challenging. Let me know if it has mistakes or is confusing or could be improved in whatever way. On the map and in the infobox I made the Kern's mouth be Buena Vista Lake Bed, even if little or no water actually reaches this mouth. My main reason is that this is the mouth coordinates and name given by the USGS. But I am not an expert on the hydrography of the southern Central Valley, so if there is a better way to map this river let me know! Thanks. I'll try to get around to fleshing out the infobox a little and perhaps adding to the main text and working on the many redlinks. I'll also try to add the Kern's watershed to the map, and maybe California county lines, unless they just result in too much map clutter. Pfly ( talk) 23:27, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
What was the very first name of the current river what did the Indians call it ?

One of items that would help add clarity to this article on The Kern River should be information regarding the dry riverbed that runs through town.
This 10 miles of Kern River that runs through Bakersfield is dry because of decades of business deals.
It would be very fascinating to trace out the history of these deals, the reason that we have 10 miles of dry river, along with many of the movements locally to bring back the Kern.
Related to this is also much missing information on the dams along the Kern, the impact of the hydroelectric power that’s produced, the impact on the native and indigenous fish species, and the non-operational hatchery that is still receiving flow from the river instead of flowing in the river.

It would be very interesting to see the different dams and some of the history of each dam on the Kern River
Here are some starting resources.

could use updating for the re-appearance of the river's water after atmospheric rivers brought the 2022–2023 California floods but my source is "i live here and see it" (primary source / original research) Mattman00000 ( talk) 23:16, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
