About this map

Antelope Acres and the community of Del Sur occupy the high desert floor as it meets the northern foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains. This landscape is famously bifurcated by the San Andreas Fault, which runs along the base of Portal Ridge and through the Leona Valley. The modern engineering of the Governor Edmund G Brown East Branch California Aqueduct snakes across the terrain, illustrating the region's reliance on water infrastructure to support its growth within the Antelope Valley.

South of the agricultural and residential grids, the terrain rises sharply into the Angeles National Forest, marked by prominent landmarks such as Johnson Summit and Antelope Buttes. The intersection of steep canyons like Myrick Canyon and Willow Springs Canyon with the expanding urban edges of Lancaster and Palmdale provides a clear view of how development has adapted to the geological constraints of this active seismic zone.
