2023 Map of Antelope Butte

About this map

Guano Valley and its prominent Guano Rim dominate this high desert landscape, illustrating a classic basin-and-range topographical structure near the Oregon border. The terrain is characterized by dramatic elevation shifts at sites like Doherty Slide and isolated peaks such as Sage Hen Butte and Antelope Butte. Human presence is sparse, represented primarily by the winding path of Beattys Butte Rd and various water improvements essential for cattle or wildlife in an arid climate. Strategic water sources like Slide Waterhole, Snake Eyes Spring, and Sagebrush Spring serve as the primary landmarks in this expanse. The drainage patterns of Sage Hen Creek and the descent of State Line Canyon define the hydrology of the area, providing a look at the seasonal water systems of Lake County.
