About this map

Antelope Springs sits at the center of this 1951 survey, a landscape defined by the intersection of natural drainage and early irrigation engineering in Morgan County. The terrain is marked by the winding course of Antelope Draw, while human intervention is visible through the Riverside Canal and North Sterling Canal which cut through the eastern sections. This era shows a transition in the rural community, as several local landmarks are noted as no longer in use.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the specific locations of the Antelope Springs Church and the scattered Windmills that served the area's homesteads. The map also documents the closing of local education centers, specifically the Gilliland School (Aban'd) and Bammer Sch (Aban'd), reflecting shifts in the rural population at mid-century. Industry in the area is represented by scattered Gravel Pits and various levees and ditches supporting the local water management system.
