Ellsworth Air Force Base dominates the southwestern portion of this landscape, its sprawling residential and operational infrastructure contrasting sharply with the rural ranching terrain to the north. The winding path of Elk Cr and Dry Cr snakes across the map, carving through the high plains near Sweet Gulch. The settlement of Bend sits in the northeast corner at the intersection of Elk Creek Rd and Bend Rd, marking a quiet transition from the military density of the base to the open range. In the central section, the Running Colors Airport serves the area’s general aviation needs. The road network reflects recent growth, with residential developments expanding along Antelope Flats Dr and Liberty Blvd, while the surrounding sections remain defined by large-scale tracts and the natural drainages of Antelope Cr.
