1946 Map of Antelope Peak

About this map

Hidden Valley and the surrounding desert floor define the northern reach of this 1946 survey, where the Maricopa Indian Reservation meets the Maricopa and Pinal county line. The landscape is dominated by significant geological rises, most notably Antelope Peak and the massive profile of Table Top. To the south, the Papago Indian Reservation extends into the foothills, a region marked by seasonal drainage patterns like Vekol Wash. This mid-century map captures the area before modern development, showing a sparse network of early roads, including Route 84, and isolated desert infrastructure such as scattered wells and cattle tanks that supported the local ranching and indigenous communities in this arid basin.
