1954 Map of Antelope Island

About this map

Antelope Island rises from the Great Salt Lake in this mid-century topographic study, showing a landform defined by its isolated springs and steep western canyons. The landscape is marked by distinctive geological features such as Mormon Rocks, Red Rocks, and the prominent peak of Mollys Nipple. Human impact appears minimal and controlled, restricted primarily to a network of Jeep Trails and unnamed paths that navigate the interior. Small Prospect labels suggest exploratory mineral interest in the island's core, while water sources like Dairy Springs, Mushroom Springs, and Garden Creek provide the only reliable hydration points in the arid environment. Along the eastern shore, a small Reservoir and the transition to the Salt Flat near Sea Gull Point illustrate the receding water levels recorded in the early 1950s.
