1971 Map of Antelope Spring

About this map

Antelope Spring sits at the base of Antelope Peak, serving as a vital water source in this high-elevation landscape of Nye County. The area is defined by the dramatic meeting of the Ralston Valley floor and the rising slopes of the Monitor Range and Mc Kinney Mountains. Within the boundaries of the Toiyabe National Forest, the terrain is marked by distinctive formations like Mexican Butte and Pink Butte. The presence of an aqueduct and various Jeep Trails indicates the infrastructure required for water management and remote access in the early 1970s. Seasonal drainage patterns are visible through the course of Willow Creek, which winds from the mountains toward the valley floor, illustrating the stark hydrology of the Great Basin.
