Midoil Road

[Max Rockatansky]

Midoil Road is an approximately 5-mile rural highway which traverses the oilfields of western Kern County.   This highway begins at A Street in Taft and extends northwest to Midway Road in Fellows. 

Midoil Road was constructed as a frontage of the Sunset Railroad following the discovery of the Midway Gusher in 1909.  The roadway is named after Midoil siding which was once located between Taft and Fellows.  Midoil Road is designated as Kern County Mountain Road 272.
