1961 Map of Antelope Draw

About this map

Dry Creek Basin dominates the upper reaches of this Johnson County landscape, where the high plains of Wyoming are etched by an intricate network of seasonal drainages. During this early 1960s survey, the area maintained a quiet, ranching-focused character centered around the Crain Ranch and the nearby Crain Sch. The topography is defined by significant elevations such as Reno Hill, which overlooks the descent toward Antelope Draw and Cathers Draw. The drainage patterns, including the West Fork and Trabing Creek, suggest a landscape shaped by intermittent water flow typical of the region's arid climate. Evidence of industrial exploration appears sparingly, marked by a single Drill Hole in the northwest, indicating the early stages of mineral or geological surveying in this part of the county.
