2023 Map of Antelope Lake

About this map

The Great Rift dominates this high-desert landscape of Blaine County, where the topography transitions from volcanic rift zones to subtle depressions that hold seasonal water. This 2023 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures a sparsely populated region defined by its historic travel routes and essential water points. The Minidoka To Arco Rd cuts through the western sections of the quadrangle, following a traditional corridor through the sagebrush plains. Small, isolated catchments like Road Lake Waterhole, Corner Reservoir, and Martin Lake provide the only significant hydrographic features in this arid environment. The presence of Coxs Well Airport near the intersection of several section lines highlights the region's reliance on air and dirt-road access for land management and ranching operations within the township grids of T2S and T3S.
