1972 Map of Antelope Flat

About this map

The Great Rift dominates the southwestern corner of this landscape, its presence marked by geological Cracks that underscore the volcanic character of the high desert. This high-altitude terrain in the early 1970s is defined by its scarcity of water and the logistical infrastructure required to support sparse human activity. Small, isolated water features such as Antelope Lake, Martin Lake, and the Road Lake Waterhole are critical landmarks across the flats, while the Corner Reservoir and a designated Cistern reflect the efforts to manage the limited resources of the high plains.
