About this map

Antelope Butte stands as a prominent landmark in this high-plains landscape of Fremont County, where the terrain is defined by a series of deep drainages and cattle ranching homesteads. The central portion of the map is dominated by the seasonal waters of Stagner Cr and the expansive Gill Meadows, indicating a region shaped by intermittent moisture and grazing. Settlement is sparse and focused on established agricultural holdings such as the Bean Ranch and Burgess Ranch.

In the eastern reaches, the geography shifts toward more pronounced relief with Morrison Canyon and the adjoining Morrison Meadows. A network of springs and small lakes, including Jergens Lake, Buffalo Lake, and Nicholson Springs, provide critical water points for livestock and wildlife. Transportation is limited to a few improved routes like Burgess Rd, underscoring the isolated nature of this Wyoming ranching country in the early 21st century.
