Rathbun writes that Big Antelope Creek, Camp that a detachment of California Cavalry was stationed there in the Spring of 1865. The location was also a station to support commerce and mining. At the time of the writing, nothing remained but some metal fragments and a few stones indicating tent platforms for the mining camp. The location is about 15 miles from exit 145 where the road crosses the Antelope Range. Rathbun cites Hart.[1]
Hart writes that "Big Antelope Cr. Cp" was located 40 miles east of Camp McKee and that it was occupied in 1863. [2]
