About this map

Antelope Flat defines this Custer County landscape, where high-country drainage patterns shape the local topography. The area is characterized by a series of significant watercourses, most notably Warm Spring Creek and Gooseberry Creek, which carve through the terrain. To the north, the dramatic relief of Grand View Canyon suggests the geologic forces at work in this part of Idaho, while Dry Gulch and Broken Wagon Creek mark the arid character of the surrounding basins.

Transportation throughout the quadrangle relies on a network of named local routes that follow the natural contours of the land. Roads such as S Lone Pine Rd and Spar Canyon Rd connect the disparate creek valleys, while Gooseberry Creek Rd and Sheep Creek Rd provide access to the more remote corners of the flat. This map provides a clear picture of the pastoral and rugged intersection of water and roadway at the start of the twenty-first century.
