1950 Map of Antelope Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

Antelope Creek and its tributary East Antelope Creek wind through the rangeland of Converse County in this 1950 survey, conducted as part of the Department of the Interior's Missouri River Basin development program. The landscape is defined by isolated ranching operations and the necessary infrastructure of the high plains, including numerous Windmill sites and the Highland Loop Road. A small portion of Douglas appears in the southwest corner, marked with a Cem and local structures. Further north, the presence of the Graves School (Abandoned) along the main thoroughfare provides a window into the changing settlement patterns of the era, where once-active rural schoolhouses began to fall into disuse. Family names like those at Combs Ranch and Wallis Ranch identify the primary landholdings that anchored this sparsely populated agricultural district during the mid-twentieth century.
