2017 Map of Antelope Range

About this map

The Sevier River and the Sevier Valley Canal define the agricultural life of this valley, where the small settlements of Monroe and Cove sit at the base of rising highlands. This 2017 study illustrates the complex irrigation network necessary for high-desert farming, including the Bertlesen Ditch and numerous unnamed channels that draw from the river. To the west, the Fishlake National Forest encompasses the high peaks of the Antelope Range, while the lower basins of Antelope Valley and Poverty Flat show the transition from cultivated fields to arid terrain. Family history markers are prominent along the valley floor, specifically the Joseph Cem and the Sevier Cems. The map also traces the industrial and recreational access to the backcountry via routes like Vca Mine Rd and Monroe Mtn Rd, as well as the geothermal activity at Hot Springs near the Sevier County and Piute County line.
