2011 Map of Antelope Gulch

About this map

The Little Missouri River and the Belle Fourche River define the drainage of this rangeland landscape along the Montana and Wyoming border. This 2011 survey documents a pastoral environment dominated by family-named ranching operations, including Ridinger Ranch, Foster Ranch, and Harney Ranch. The water management infrastructure essential for high-plains agriculture is visible through features like the T J Maupin Number 1 Dam and Banks Creek Dam, which create reservoirs such as the T J Maupin Number 1 Reservoir to support livestock. Evidence of mineral extraction is found in the south at the C Cockran Mine, situated near the Brushy Creek drainage. The map's detail provides a record of land use and property tenure, tracing the legacy of homesteads such as the Edsall Ranch and the Cochrun Ranch across a network of rural routes like Little Missouri Rd and Stoneville Rd.
