About this map

Antelope Springs Ranch sits at the heart of this high-plains landscape, where ranching operations depend on a network of man-made water sources in an arid environment. The map details a significant concentration of reservoirs, such as Big V Reservoir, Rock Spring Reservoir, and Chocolate Reservoir, which are vital for livestock and local wildlife management. These features, along with natural water points like Jacques Spring and Antelope Springs, suggest a history of careful water engineering and range land utilization.

Terrain features like the Devils Monument and Salt Canyon punctuate the landscape, while the drainage of the S Fork Powder River and Dead Horse Cr define the lower elevations. Isolated basins such as Bobcat Basin and Fitzpatrick Draw illustrate the complex topography of Natrona County. Transportation is limited to functional routes like Antelope Springs Ranch Rd and Tisdale Mountain Rd, emphasizing the area's specialized use for grazing and remote ranching.
