1933 Map of Lovejoy Springs

About this map

Antelope Valley transitions from a broad desert floor into a series of distinctive landforms in this survey, which includes culture revisions by Los Angeles County up to 1948. The map centers on the isolated peaks of Piute Butte and the Lovejoy Buttes, where the namesake Lovejoy Springs provides a rare water source in this arid landscape. A grid of early roads, including Tierra Bonita Road and Avenue K, begins to divide the land, though large tracts remain largely undeveloped.
