Antelope Springs
Antelope Springs is a spring located in the Antelope Range.
Antelope Springs was probably named in 1846 when William G. Parker killed an antelope there when he and Levi Scott were looking for a route from the Humboldt River to Rabbit Hole Springs.[1]
Antelope Springs was the first major spring that emigrants would encounter after leaving Lassen Meadows on the Applegate-Lassen Trail.
Susan Coon is buried at Antelope Springs.
There is quite a bit of confusion about the naming of the springs. Apparently the USGS refers to it as Willow Springs.[1]
