1966 Map of Antelope Spring

About this map

The high desert landscape of Wyoming's Great Divide Basin is meticulously charted here, defined by the prominent Windy Hill and Windy Point rising above the surrounding flats. During the mid-1960s, this area on the Sweetwater and Carbon County line served as a critical corridor for infrastructure and navigation. A Pipeline corridor and the Riner Cutoff Road cross the terrain, while technical landmarks like an Airway Beacon and a Radio Facility reflect the era's reliance on ground-based navigational aids for regional aviation. The drainage patterns of the high plains are clearly visible through features such as Mahoney Draw, Creston Draw, and Buck Draw, which lead toward Separation Flats. This topographical study captures a specific moment of transition when traditional range landmarks like Antelope Spring shared the landscape with modern industrial and transportation systems.
