About this map

Snake River frontage and the high livestock country of eastern Idaho define this early 1950s survey. The landscape is characterized by a series of family-held ranching operations, including the Spaulding Ranch, Clark Ranch, and Wheeler Ranch, which are distributed along the drainages of Antelope Creek and Little Pine Creek. A significant marker of the area's changing social geography is the Antelope Sch (Aban'd), noted as abandoned even at the time of this 1951 mapping.

To the north, the boundary of the Targhee National Forest meets the steep slopes of Kelly Mountain and the prominent Table Rock. The terrain transitions from the low-lying river flats at Wolf Flat and Goe Flat into the broad expanse of Antelope Flat, reflecting the traditional spatial organization of western mountain ranching where valley bottoms served as homesteads and the higher elevations provided seasonal grazing.
