1956 Map of Antelope Sink

About this map

The arid ranching landscape of Antelope Sink is defined by an intricate network of seasonal drainage and water management features captured during a 1956 planetable survey. The terrain is marked by numerous family-named landmarks including Runyan Ranch and Bunting Ranch, along with scattered infrastructure essential for desert life, such as Hilt Well and Williams Well. The northern edge of the sheet is dominated by the Rio Penasco and the Walnut Draw confluence, while further south, the land is etched by the long courses of Fourmile Draw and Gardner Draw.
