The Antelope Valley is often described as “high desert,” accounting for the elevations of around 3050 feet in its southern foothills to the playas of Rosamond and Rogers Dry Lakes at about 2270 feet.
The Antelope Valley was literally made by tectonic action—the northern edge’s Tehachapis were uplifted by the action of the Garlock fault, and the steep rise of the San Gabriels occurs where the vaunted San Andreas Fault passes along the Valley’s southern edge.
