About this map

Antelope Valley dominates the eastern portion of this Deuel County landscape, where the prairie is defined by conservation and water management. Large tracts of land are designated as the National Waterfowl Production Area, reflecting the region's importance to migratory birds. In the south, the Mitchell State Public Shooting Area and Lone Tree Lake State Public Shooting Area provide specialized land-use details for researchers interested in mid-century environmental preservation and public lands.

Surface drainage is managed through a series of prairie waterways including Adams Creek, Mud Creek, and Lost Creek. The map documents civic and utility markers such as a Townhall and a Radio Tower, while the presence of a Gravel Pit indicates local mineral extraction. Boundary lines for the townships of Adams, Lowe, Altamont, and Glenwood intersect here, providing a clear frame for local land ownership studies.
