1963 Map of Antelope Peak

About this map

Table Top Mountains dominate the southern landscape of this Pinal County territory, rising sharply above the expansive Vekol Valley. The terrain is defined by its arid drainage systems, notably the braided paths of Vekol Wash and Hidden Valley Wash which cut through the desert floor. This 1963 revision reveals a region in transition, evidenced by a major roadway and utility corridor labeled Under Construction stretching across the central plain. Settlement is sparse, anchored by the A K Ranch and a lone Roadside Rest along the highway. To the north and south, the map details the boundaries and topography within the Maricopa Indian Reservation and the Papago Indian Reservation. Local industrial activity is limited to scattered Gravel Pits and various Prospects tucked into the foothills near Table Top and Antelope Peak.
