2012 Map of Antelope Plain

About this map

The Antelope Plain of Kern County is defined here by the massive infrastructure of the Governor Edmund G Brown California Aqueduct, which cuts a diagonal path through this arid agricultural landscape. This 2012 survey illustrates the grid-like precision of the region's rural road network, including thoroughfares such as Twisselman Rd, Nonpareil Rd, and King Rd. The presence of the Holloway Gypsum operation in the southeastern corner of the quadrangle highlights the local mineral extraction industry, situated near Holloway Rd. The landscape is characterized by sparse development, with large open tracts and geometric land divisions typical of the Central Valley's industrial farming and resource management zones. The map provides a clear record of water conveyance and access routes essential to the economic life of the southern San Joaquin Valley.
