2020 Map of Antone

About this map

Ochoco National Forest dominates the southern landscape of this Wheeler County terrain, where high-elevation landmarks like Spanish Peak and Ochoco Mountain define the horizon. The northern portion of the map reveals a history of land management and isolated homesteading, marked by the presence of the Antone Ranch Airport and the lonely Mary Waterman Grave near Rock Creek. Water management is a central theme of this arid region, evidenced by the intricate Rock Cr-Philling-McFadden Ditch and the Erickson Ditch which siphon flows across the valley floors. Several named springs, including Ted Glover Spring and Edmonson Spring, appear as critical water sources in a landscape characterized by deep drainages like Spanish Gulch and Mule Gulch. The Spanish Gulch Cemetery remains as a quiet indicator of the small communities that once attempted to find a foothold in these high valleys.
