Merle Haggard and Rio Bravo
It certainly looks like the ranch that was north of Kern, California that lasted until the middle 20th century might be the same as the place next to Nickel Jr's Rio Bravo Golf Course, that Nickel Jr reported in a 1998 interview (q.v.) that xe bought off Haggard, both Haggrd's home and the golf course dating from the mid 20th century. But what's the Rio Bravo, California to the west of Bakersfield, then? There is a Southern Pacific railroad there, and it seems to have an oil connection. Is this Solomon Jewett too? It's on a different line but Jewett wasn't involved in just one line. What are the lines? Do we have them? Is this simply more GNIS mess? I think that Brewer's identification is right (otherwise I wouldn't have put it into the article), but I would like to have more contemporary newspaper article and other sourcing to fully nail down what happened to the Rio Bravo ranch after Olcese. It seems like it was subdivided, and confirms it. But I want a far better source than a PowerPoint presentation given at the Ranch, even it is by Alan Garfinkel. This has to have been properly published somewhere, surely? Uncle G (talk) 12:12, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
