1981 Map of Antelope Peak

About this map

Antelope Peak stands as the central landmark in this desert landscape, where the Table Top Mountains meet the sweeping expanse of the Vekol Valley. The 1981 survey documents the intersection of modern transit and traditional desert features, showing the Hidden Valley Interchange along Route 8 near a lonely Corral. Seasonal drainage patterns are clearly defined by the paths of Vekol Wash and Antelope Wash, which dictate the local topography. Evidence of resource exploration and infrastructure appears in the form of several Borrow Pit sites, a Gravel Pit, and a remote Prospect located on the eastern slopes of the mountains. This map also preserves the administrative boundary between Maricopa and Pinal counties, providing a detailed view of the terrain before later regional development altered the character of this high-desert corridor.
