2022 Map of Antelope Valley

About this map

Loyalton sits at the edge of the expansive Sierra Valley, where the valley floor meets the northern reaches of the Tahoe National Forest. This landscape is defined by the sharp transition between the wetland-dotted flats and the rising terrain of Antelope Valley. The mapping of private ranching interests is evident through numerous family-named roads such as Filippini Rd, Genasci Rd, and Bar One Ranch Rd, which cross the marshy valley floor. To the south, the terrain becomes more complex, marked by features like Palen Reservoir and the high point at Lombardi Point. The boundary between Plumas Co and Sierra Co bisects the valley, reflecting the historical importance of this region for agriculture and forestry in the eastern Sierras. Prominent landmarks like Rice Hill and TV Hill provide vertical relief above the canyon systems of Mello Canyon, illustrating the varied topography of this high-altitude basin.
