About this map

Antelope sits at the heart of this Sheridan County landscape, where the local economy and geography are defined by the winding course of Big Muddy Creek. The settlement pattern follows the north-south axis of Railroad Ave, reflecting the historic importance of the rail corridor in eastern Montana. The terrain is deeply carved by water, featuring prominent drainage features like Folsom Coulee, Clarence Coulee, and McLaughlin Coulee that cut through the high plains toward the creek basin.

Local history and genealogy interests are centered on the two burial grounds south of the main townsite, the Antelope Catholic Cem and Antelope Creek Cem. These sites, along with the network of rural roads such as Coalridge Hwy and Twin Bridges Rd, illustrate the long-standing community structure of the Fort Kipp District. The map provides an exacting view of the land as it appeared in 2020, capturing the intersection of ranching roads and natural waterways like Antelope Cr.
