1931 Map of Little Buttes

USGS Topo · Published 1931

About this map

The expansive Antelope Valley floor meets the sharp rise of the Antelope Buttes in this 1931 survey of the high desert. Settlement is defined by early ranching footprints, such as the Eric Munz Ranch and Half Circle G Ranch, highlighting the isolation and scale of land ownership in this era. The surveyor's grid of avenues, ranging from Avenue B down to Avenue H, imposes a strict geometry over the terrain, though much of the infrastructure remains dedicated to power and transit. The Southern California Edison Co Transmission Line cuts diagonally across the desert floor, a symbol of the growing regional utility network. Near the Los Angeles Co-Kern Co Boundary Line, the presence of the (Esperanza School) points to a small but established community of homesteaders and ranch hands working the land before the mid-century expansion of the Los Angeles basin.
