1969 Map of Antelope Reservoir

About this map

Antelope Reservoir dominates the lower half of this late 1960s survey, representing a significant water management hub in the high desert of Malheur County. The map documents an intricate irrigation network designed to sustain the arid landscape, including the Antelope Feeder Canal and numerous springs like Sheep Spring. To the north, the terrain is characterized by expansive Lava beds and the winding course of Jordan Creek, which cuts through the volcanic geology. Small-scale human activity is evident in the scattered Borrow Pits and the sparse settlement at Antelope Flat. The topography transitions from the flat expanses of Antelope Flat to the more varied elevations of Danner Valley, illustrating the intersection of geologic history and agricultural development in this corner of the Jordan Valley.
