1963 Map of Antelope Peak

About this map

Antelope Peak stands as the central landmark of this Arizona desert landscape, surrounded by the dramatic terrain of the Vekol Mountains and the Antelope Mountains. To the north, the Papago Indian Reservation encompasses a large portion of the area, featuring a sparse network of roads like Papago Road and Williams Road that service various wells across the flat Hidden Valley. A notable infrastructural detail is the highway running east-to-west near the center of the sheet, labeled as Under Construction during this mid-century period. This corridor includes a Roadside Rest and connects to Stanfield Road. The desert floor is carved by drainage systems like Vekol Wash and Hidden Valley Wash, while small peaks such as Passage Butte, Indian Butte, and Needle Peak break the horizon. Local ranching and transport are evidenced by the A K Ranch and a remote Landing Strip near the Maricopa County line.
