The Antelope Hills are a low mountain range in the Transverse Ranges, in western Kern County, California.[1] In 1910 Arnold and Johnson from the United States Geological Survey proposed the name "Antelope Hills" for "the group of low hills [that] are a range for the few wild antelope left in this region."[2]
