The high desert landscape of the Antelope Valley is defined by a grid of agricultural and residential development punctuated by dramatic natural landmarks like Alpine Butte. This 2021 record shows the modern infrastructure of Los Angeles County, most notably the path of the Governor Edmund G Brown East Branch California Aqueduct as it moves water through the arid region. The map captures the interface between the growing city of Palmdale and the smaller communities of Sun Village, Littlerock, and Pearblossom. Water management is central to the area's history, evidenced by features such as the Little Rock Ditch and the wide, sandy paths of Little Rock Wash and Big Rock Wash which channel seasonal runoff from the mountains to the south. Smaller hubs like Antelope Center anchor the northern reaches of this desert expanse.
