About this map

The Antelope Desert landscape in Klamath County is defined by its arid terrain and vital water sources, where natural springs and man-made wells support ranching operations. The Winema National Forest covers much of the western portion, while the eastern edge is marked by the Klamath Marsh National Wildlife Refuge. A network of water features, including Big Springs, Lenz Creek, and numerous flowing wells, reveals how land use was dictated by hydrology in this high-desert environment.

Transport and utility infrastructure is sparse but significant, featuring the Military Crossing Road and a prominent north-south pipeline that traverses the desert floor. The small settlement of Lenz and the nearby Lenz Ranch serve as focal points for the local area, situated along the Sixth Standard Parallel South. The presence of a Cinder Pit near the northern boundary suggests local extraction activities amidst the volcanic geology of the region.
