Each map includes 3D hillshade, contour lines, public and private land boundaries, major roads only, hydrology, and essential terrain features. Lose yourself in Wyoming’s wide-open antelope country—yet NEVER GET LOST.\r\n\r\nWyoming Antelope Area 115, known as Upper Nowood, is located in north-central Wyoming within Big Horn and Washakie Counties, encompassing portions of the upper Nowood River drainage between the Bighorn Basin and the foothills of the Absaroka Range. This unit represents a transition zone between open basin country and broken foothill terrain and is defined by rolling sagebrush benches, broad open basins, shallow drainages, rimmed breaks, low ridgelines, and the Nowood River and its tributaries. The landscape offers excellent visibility while providing enough terrain variation to support effective stalks.\r\n\r\nPronghorn in Area 115 commonly bed on open benches, gentle ridges, and elevated flats where long sightlines provide security. During warmer parts of the day, antelope often move into shallow draws, basin edges, north-facing slopes, and drainage bottoms associated with the Nowood River system for shade, water access, and wind relief. Morning and evening movement is frequent across sagebrush flats, grassy benches, basin bottoms, and natural travel corridors shaped by drainages and fencing.\r\n\r\nHunting Area 115 favors long-range glassing paired with patient spot-and-stalk tactics. Hunters typically glass from basin rims, low ridgelines, elevated benches, and subtle high points overlooking the Nowood drainage. Successful stalks rely on using shallow cuts, drainage corridors, desert swales, rim breaks, fence lines, and minor elevation changes to remain concealed. Wind direction is a constant factor in this open environment, making careful planning essential. Ambush opportunities may exist near water developments, springs, fence crossings, and terrain funnels created by basin necks and drainage intersections.\r\n\r\nLand ownership in Area 115 is a mix of public land, State Trust parcels, and private holdings, with boundary patterns that vary throughout the unit—particularly along river bottoms and foothill transitions. Public access is generally good, but close attention to land ownership and access routes is critical. Our map clearly displays all land ownership, access routes, hydrology, and terrain features needed to navigate confidently and legally across the unit.\r\n\r\nHunters rely on our maps because they provide precise, GPS-accurate tracking in the Avenza app—even without cell service—critical in this basin-and-foothill landscape where landmarks can be subtle and distances deceptive. The 3D hillshade layer highlights basin edges, benches, shallow draws, ridgelines, rim features, and drainage corridors, helping hunters better interpret pronghorn movement and plan efficient glassing and stalk strategies. The clean, uncluttered layout delivers all essential details for marking glassing locations, access points, water sources, stalk routes, and harvest sites.\r\n\r\nFor best field performance, download your map before entering the unit, place your device in airplane mode to conserve battery life, and carry a backup power source. Pre-marking access points, property boundaries, glassing knobs, water sources, and likely travel routes will greatly improve efficiency and success while hunting the Upper Nowood antelope unit.","brand":"Map the Xperience","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45871778594972,"sku":"1728448","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0441\/7850\/5884\/files\/map-the-xperience-2025-wyoming-hunt-map-antelope-area-115-upper-nowood-map-1728448-preview-0_64a7297a-074f-440f-bfa9-c1010be67d86.jpg?v=1767104407","url":"https:\/\/store.avenza.com\/products\/2025-wyoming-hunt-map-antelope-area-115-upper-nowood-map-the-xperience-map","provider":"Avenza Maps","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
