1961 Map of Antelope Reservoir

About this map

Osborne Draw and Eagles Nest Draw define the topography of this high-desert portion of Sweetwater County, where water management was essential for land use in the early 1960s. The landscape is marked by small-scale irrigation and stock water features, including the Antelope Reservoir in the north and the Eagles Nest Draw Reservoir No 1 in the southwest corner. The presence of Little Osborne Lake and these artificial impoundments illustrates the seasonal nature of the drainage systems carving through the arid terrain. This mapping, based on 1960 aerial photography, captures the remote character of the Wyoming basin before modern developments, showing a network of unimproved trails and the precise contours of the high plains drainage basins.
