About this map

Antone and the surrounding rangeland of Wheeler County are documented in this mid-century survey, updated through the mid-1980s. The settlement at Antone is accompanied by family and industrial history markers, including the Erickson Ranch and the Cem and solitary Grave located nearby. The economy of the era is visible in the resource extraction and ranching infrastructure, such as the Waterman Mine and Andrews Mine to the east, and the Mascall Corrals in the south.

Elevations rise toward the Ochogo National Forest, where the landscape is defined by peaks like Spanish Peak, which features a Lookout Tower. Water sources are critical in this environment, represented by numerous springs such as Edmonson Spring, Saddle Spring, and Triplet Spring, along with the reservoirs at Fred Creek Lake and Rock Creek Lake. This map captures a transition period where old mining claims and remote ranching outposts persisted alongside forest management and recreational sites like the Cottonwood Campground.
