About this map

The San Andreas Rift Zone defines the structural character of this landscape, cutting a distinct path between the uplifted Portal Ridge and Ritter Ridge. This 1930s survey captures a rural desert transition where the high desert floor of the Antelope Valley meets the northern foothills of the Sierra Pelona Mountains. The settlement pattern is defined by a rigid grid of roads, from J Avenue down to N Avenue, punctuated by isolated wells and local institutions like the Belleview Sch. In the southern portion of the map, the terrain becomes increasingly complex as the relief rises toward Goode Hill. Drainage systems such as Amargosa Creek and Rogers Creek follow the natural fault lines, while winding routes like Elizabeth Lake Road and Bouquet Canyon Road navigate the narrow canyons and ridges, providing vital connections through the rift valley.
