About this map

The Owl Creek Mountains form a prominent backdrop for this remote Wyoming landscape, where the border between Hot Springs and Fremont counties cuts across the high terrain. The area is defined by its complex geological features, most notably the Maverick Spring Dome in the southwest and the long spine of Antelope Ridge that separates Red Basin from the Antelope Basin.

Water management in this arid environment is evident through a series of catchments including Pearl Reservoir and its associated Enlargement Pearl Reservoir, alongside the Bargee Reservoir to the east. Several intermittent drainages such as Antelope Springs Cr and Dry Muddy Cr navigate the draws, while Trickle Spring and Antelope Springs mark vital water sources. Access through this rugged territory is largely limited to the winding path of Circle Ridge Rd.
