1951 Map of Antelope Gap

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

The Laramie River winds through the northern portion of this Wyoming landscape, carving a fertile valley through the high plains of Platte County. Settlement patterns are sparse, defined by the isolated Windmill sites that sustain ranching in the arid terrain. The intersection of Antelope Gap Road and Slater Road serves as a primary transit point through the dramatic topography of Antelope Gap. Evidence of shifting community centers is found at the Antelope School (Aban'd), reflecting the era's consolidation of rural education. Significant drainages like Chugwater Creek and Eagles Nest Canyon dictate the movement of both water and cattle, while smaller features such as Big Sand Draw and Little Cottonwood Draw highlight the seasonal watercourses vital to this ranching frontier.
