1990 Map of Antelope Gap

About this map

Grayrocks Reservoir dominates the northern reaches of this landscape, where the Laramie River winds through the high plains of Platte County. The topography is defined by the sharp descent into Eagles Nest Canyon and the natural passage of Antelope Gap, features that have historically dictated the movement of livestock and travelers across this arid region. This 1990 revision, based on imagery dating back to the late 1940s, reveals a sparse network of infrastructure including Antelope Gap Road and Slater Road, which navigate the draws and ridges between water sources like Eagles Nest Spring. The presence of a legacy Ditch system and proximity to drainage from Chugwater and Cottonwood creeks highlights the vital importance of water management in sustaining ranching operations within these Wyoming breaks.
