Antelope, New Mexico

Little is known about the dream town of Antelope, established by Charles Burks about 6 miles west of Crossroads.  "Gil Hinshaw's"  book; "Lea, New Mexico's Last Frontier", reports that Antelope had a church, dance hall, barber shop, real estate office, two or threes stores, and a one room school.

According "James W. White's" book, "The History of Lea County Post Offices" there was never a post office and mail would have probably been  delivered to Croosroads or a Rural route been established.
