1951 Map of Antelope Gap

About this map

The Laramie River flows across the northern reaches of this Platte County landscape, joined by Chugwater Creek as it winds through the high plains. The terrain is defined by dramatic erosional features like Eagles Nest Canyon and the notable Antelope Gap, which serves as a natural corridor for movement through the area. Traces of early 20th-century rural life are visible in the placement of the Antelope School (Aban'd), reflecting the sparse settlement patterns common in this part of Wyoming during the mid-century era.
