2021 Map of Antelope Ridge

About this map

The Owl Creek Mountains dominate the northern terrain of this central Wyoming landscape, where the high desert environment is defined by its drainage patterns and geologic formations. Settled within the Hot Springs and Fremont County borderlands, the area is characterized by significant topographical features such as the Maverick Spring Dome and the high elevations of Antelope Ridge. Water management in this arid region is evidenced by the presence of Pearl Reservoir and Bargee Reservoir, which capture runoff from intermittent streams like Dry Muddy Cr. Local transportation is centered on Circle Ridge RD, providing access across the varied basins, including Red Basin and Antelope Basin. This 2021 study documents the contemporary state of the range, including named water sources such as Antelope Springs and Trickle Spring that have long been vital to land use in the high plains.
