About this map

Antelope Valley and the surrounding high desert of Eureka County are defined by an intricate network of seasonal drainages and vital water sources in this 1990 provisional study. The landscape is marked by several perennial points such as Bradford Spring, Antelope Spring, and the prominent Kitchen Meadow. These water features provided critical support for ranching operations, evidenced by the presence of a Stock Pond Well and various ponds throughout the basin.

The western edge of the map transitions into the Toiyabe National Forest, while the central terrain is characterized by the confluence of Dagger Creek, Hot Spring Wash, and Cedar Creek. Multiple sites labeled as Prospect suggest a history of mineral exploration common to this region of Nevada. The area's geography is further detailed by landforms like Faulkner and the winding Antelope Wash, reflecting the remote and arid character of the Great Basin during the late twentieth century.
