1964 Map of Antelope Wash

About this map

Henrys Fork snakes through the southern half of this landscape, creating a distinct riparian corridor amidst the surrounding drainage systems of Antelope Wash and Little Dry Creek. The 1964 topography, later updated in 1980, reveals a landscape defined by water management and grazing, where the green Lane Meadow contrasts with the surrounding draws and basins. A series of small-scale impoundments, including Briggs Reservoir, Middle Reservoir, and Silt Reservoir, suggest the necessity of capturing seasonal runoff in this part of Sweetwater County. Local landmarks such as Antelope Spring and Neff Reservoir provide fixed points in an area marked by named landforms like Big Hollow and Logan. These features illustrate the intersection of natural hydrology and human efforts to secure water for livestock and land use in the high plains of Wyoming.
