1951 Map of Antelope Gap

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Antelope Gap defines this high-plains landscape where early 1950s ranching infrastructure met the winding course of the Laramie River. The terrain is deeply incised by Eagles Nest Canyon and drained by watercourses such as Chugwater Creek and Little Cottonwood Draw. This era was one of transition for rural Wyoming education, evidenced by the presence of Antelope School (Aband), which stood near the junction of Antelope Gap Road and Slater Road. Numerous windmills scattered across the sections highlight the importance of groundwater for livestock in this arid environment. The map provides a precise record of water sources like Eagles Nest Spring and the complex system of local draws that dictated the placement of early travel routes through the gap.
