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 16, commonly known as UCross, is located in north-central Wyoming within Johnson County, east of Buffalo and west of the Powder River Basin. This unit lies in classic foothills-to-plains transition country and is defined by rolling sagebrush benches, broad open basins, grassy flats, shallow drainages, low ridgelines, and subtle breaks that provide excellent structure in otherwise open terrain. The landscape offers strong visibility with enough relief to support effective stalks.\r\n\r\nPronghorn in Area 16 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 terrain folds for shade and wind relief. Morning and evening movement is frequent across grassy benches, open parks, basin bottoms, and natural travel corridors influenced by terrain and fencing.\r\n\r\nHunting Area 16 favors long-range glassing paired with patient spot-and-stalk tactics. Hunters typically glass from low ridgelines, elevated benches, basin rims, and subtle high points overlooking open flats. Successful stalks rely on using rolling terrain, shallow cuts, drainage swales, 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 16 is a mix of private ranchland, State Trust parcels, and public ground, with boundary patterns that vary across the unit. Public access opportunities exist but require close attention to land ownership and access routes. 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 foothill-and-plains landscape where landmarks can be subtle and distances deceptive. The 3D hillshade layer highlights basin edges, benches, shallow draws, ridgelines, and elevation changes, helping hunters 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 UCross antelope unit.","brand":"Map the Xperience","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45879007117468,"sku":"1728510","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-16-ucross-map-1728510-preview-0_deb6bf40-b61c-4d56-b92f-3e94f3eeb51b.jpg?v=1767625181","url":"https:\/\/store.avenza.com\/products\/2025-wyoming-hunt-map-antelope-area-16-ucross-map-the-xperience-map","provider":"Avenza Maps","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
