1952 Map of Antelope Ridge

About this map

The Wind River Indian Reservation occupies the southern portion of this mid-century landscape, where the rugged terrain of the Owl Creek Mountains meets the industrial footprint of the Maverick Spring Oil Field. This 1952 survey, updated with late-1970s revisions, illustrates the resource extraction economy of the era, marked by numerous Oil Wells and the distinct geological structure of the Maverick Spring Dome. Hydrology in this arid region is defined by ephemeral drainages and essential water sources like South Fork Owl Creek and Bargee Reservoir. The map provides a clear look at the Antelope Ridge and Antelope Basin areas, tracing the paths of Dry Muddy Creek and Sagwup Draw through the complex topography along the Hot Springs and Fremont county line.
