1943 Map of Antelope Coulee

USGS Topo · Published 1945

About this map

Fifteenmile Coulee and Antelope Coulee carve through this Toole County landscape, where early 1940s land use is defined by isolated ranching outposts and a sparse network of section-line roads. The area, mapped shortly after the Great Depression, reveals the established presence of family operations like Johannson Ranch and Ekholt Ranch, located near the northern drainage of Black Coulee. The local infrastructure is oriented around these homesteads and the Fairview Sch, which served the scattered community. The Principal Meridian bisects the quadrangle, serving as a critical reference point for the rectilinear survey grid that dictates the placement of Morton Road and Telstad Road. Beyond the watercourses, the terrain rises toward Black Butte in the northeast, while numerous windmills and isolated wells highlight the precarious nature of water management in this high plains environment.
