About this map

Neenach School and the surrounding ranching landscape define this portion of the Antelope Valley during the mid-1960s. The map illustrates the sophisticated water infrastructure essential to the region, featuring both the Los Angeles Aqueduct and the California Aqueduct as they traverse the foothills of La Liebre. These massive engineering works share the landscape with small-scale ranching operations such as Gorrindo Ranch and Snyder Ranch.

To the south, the terrain shifts from the flat agricultural grid of Avenue A and Avenue D into the rugged southern canyons. Named landmarks like Pine Canyon, Spencer Canyon, and Happy Valley lead toward the high ridges, while a lone Mine and various storage bins suggest local industrial activity. The presence of Antelope Station and the Neenach Substation underscores the area's role as a utility and transit corridor between the mountains and the valley floor.
