1949 Map of Antelope

About this map

Antelope sits at the intersection of the Great Northern railroad and the meandering path of Big Muddy Creek in Sheridan County. This 1949 survey documents a landscape defined by the drainage systems of the Missouri River Basin, where Antelope Creek and various coulees like Clarence Coulee carve through the prairie. The southern portion of the map includes part of the Fort Peck Indian Reservation, marking a significant jurisdictional boundary in this rural corner of Montana. Small settlements such as Folsom and McLaughlin appear along the rail line, representing the essential agricultural shipping points of the era. The presence of a Cem and a Gravel Pit near the creek bends provides specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracing the physical remains of mid-century community life and early infrastructure.
