About this map

Antelope Valley serves as a focal point for settlement and agriculture in this corner of Mono County, centered on the community of Coleville. The landscape transitions from the riparian corridor of the West Walker River to the high elevations of the Toiyabe National Forest, where peaks like Mineral Mtn rise above the valley floor. Evidence of early water management is clear through infrastructure such as the Alkali Ditch and Swager Ditch, which redirect water across the arid terrain to support local homesteads.

Remote encampments and high-altitude grazing areas are marked by Rodriguez Flat and Poison Flat, connected by a network of primitive routes like the Corral Valley Trl and Snodgrass Trl. These trails offer a look at the historical movement between the lowlands and the alpine reaches of the Sierra Nevada. Cultural landmarks, including the Antelope Valley Cem, provide essential anchor points for researchers tracing the families who established themselves near Centennial Bluff and Slinkard Valley.
