About this map

Antelope Valley and the western reaches of the Mojave Desert define the landscape of this high desert region north of Los Angeles. The terrain is characterized by a stark contrast between the vast, flat basins of the valley floor and the sudden elevation of isolated volcanic remnants like Alpine Butte and the Rocky Buttes. In the early 2020s, the area reflects a transition from the industrial and residential corridors of Lancaster and Palmdale to the open, grid-patterned reaches of the desert. The orderly surveyor's grid, marked by arterial routes such as E Lancaster Blvd and E Ave J, stretches across the valley floor, tracing the path of suburban expansion into the arid landscape where natural features like Rock Cr cut across the alluvial plains.
