1977 Map of Antelope Mesa

About this map

Antelope Mesa rises above the high plains of Crowley County, defining the arid landscape of this 1970s survey. This territory is marked by the vital infrastructure of water management in a dry climate, ranging from natural features like Bluff Springs and numerous unnamed Springs to man-made developments like Cudahy Reservoir and Tennessee Pond. The southern edge of the sheet shows the Colorado Canal, a significant piece of irrigation engineering for the region. Transportation and local access are centered around Olney Springs Road and Cudahy Road, which connect the scattered points of interest. Though largely open range, the map notes the small settlement of Boney, providing a specific point of reference for genealogists tracking family history in this corner of the state during the mid-to-late twentieth century.
