The field is long and narrow, exactly following the Oak Ridge Fault which also defines the alignment of the Santa Clara River, running from northeast to southwest.
 The field is approximately four miles long by one-quarter mile across, amounting to 640 productive acres total, mostly on the northwest side of the Santa Clara River.
 California State Route 126 parallels the field for its entire length, about one-half mile to the northwest.
 The large South Mountain Oil Field is adjacent on the northeast, and the Santa Clara Avenue and Oxnard oil fields are south of the river, on the north and south sides of U.S. Highway 101 respectively.

Land use in the vicinity of the field is predominantly agricultural, with oil wells and associated production infrastructure interspersed between working agricultural fields and orchards.
 Climate in the region is Mediterranean, with cool, rainy winters and warm, rainless summers, in which the heat is moderated by frequent morning coastal low clouds and fog.
 Annual precipitation is around 15 inches, almost all in the winter, and all in the form of rain.
 The mean annual temperature is 56 °F (13 °C) to 60 °F (16 °C); freezes occur rarely.
 Elevations on the field range from about 140 to 220 feet (43 to 67 m) above sea level.
 As it is in the Santa Clara River floodplain it is mostly flat, with runoff going directly into the adjacent Santa Clara River which flows west toward its outlet into the Pacific Ocean between Oxnard and Ventura.
