Description
A water pumping windmill is a workhorse that has been mostly unchanged since before World War II. About one million windmills are pumping water in the world today. The most common application is to install a windmill directly over a drilled or dug well. Pumping water from an aboveground source is also an easy task for a windmill. This windmill is located in the Cuyama Valley, along the Cuyama River in central California, in northern Santa Barbara, southern San Luis Obispo, southwestern Kern, and northwestern Ventura counties. It is a sparsely inhabited area containing two significant towns – Cuyama and New Cuyama – and is largely used for ranching, agriculture, and oil and gas production. California State Route 166 runs along most of the length of the valley, connecting the coastal communities of Santa Maria and Arroyo Grande with the San Joaquin Valley near Bakersfield. The valley encompasses an area of approximately 300 square miles (780 km2). It is bounded on all sides by mountains and the Cuyama River escapes west through a narrow canyon to the Pacific Ocean between the Sierra Madre Mountains on the south and the La Panza Range on the north.
