1972 Map of Antelope Valley

About this map

The U S Sheep Experiment Station occupies a significant portion of this high-altitude landscape along the border of Clark Co and Fremont Co. Established in the early 20th century to support the Western sheep industry, the station's presence indicates the specialized agricultural and research use of these mountain lands. The terrain is defined by the prominent Antelope Ridge and the broad Antelope Valley, with the northern section rising into the protected lands of the Targhee National Forest. A network of water sources, including Little Cottonwood Creek, Ching Creek, and numerous isolated Springs, suggests a landscape shaped by seasonal grazing and livestock management. A traditional Pack Trail winds through the forest near West Dry Creek, marking historical transit routes used before modern road development reached this portion of the Idaho backcountry.
