About this map

Antelope Mountains dominate the southern portion of this Millard County landscape, a region characterized by remote peaks and scattered resource extraction during the early 1970s. The presence of multiple Mines and various Prospects across the slopes and valley floors indicates a history of mineral exploration in the high desert. Water, a critical commodity in this arid terrain, is marked at Antelope Spring and Cove Spring, providing essential landmarks for surveyors and travelers alike.

Transportation through the area relies on the Black Rock Road and various rugged Jeep Trails that navigate the desert floor. To the north, the elevation rises sharply toward South Twin Peak, while the drainage of Cove Creek cuts through the central valley. Small-scale infrastructure like the Ogden Well underscores the isolated nature of the landscape, where human presence is largely tied to livestock watering or mining activity.
