2018 Map of Littlerock

About this map

The San Andreas Fault cuts across the southern landscape of the high desert, defining the geomorphology of this Los Angeles County region. In this 2018 survey, the grid-like residential development of Palmdale and Sun Village contrasts sharply with the arid open space. Vital water infrastructure is visible throughout the area, including the Governor Edmund G Brown East Branch California Aqueduct and the historical Little Rock Ditch. These man-made channels support the communities of Littlerock and Pearblossom, which are situated at the foot of the mountains. The northern portion of the map is dominated by the Alpine Butte landform and seasonal drainage patterns like Rock Creek, illustrating the environmental challenges and engineering solutions inherent to settling the Antelope Valley.
