1957 Map of Lovejoy Buttes

About this map

Wilsona Ranch and the small settlement of Llano anchor this mid-century desert landscape in the eastern Antelope Valley. The terrain is defined by the prominent Lovejoy Buttes and Black Butte, which rise sharply above the alluvial plains. This environment is characterized by its reliance on underground water sources, evidenced by numerous wells and the presence of Lovejoy Springs. The map reveals the early development of local industry through several quarries located in the foothills.
