2012 Map of Blackjack Ranch

About this map

Blackjack Ranch serves as the central landmark in this sparse Natrona County landscape, located at the confluence of several high-desert drainages. The topography is defined by the winding course of Sage Hen Cr and its tributary, E Fork Sage Hen Cr, which dictate the local terrain and historical movement through the area. Transportation in this corner of Wyoming is grounded in historic travel routes, most notably the Waltman Sweetwater Freight Rd, a name that recalls the region's legacy of hauling goods across the open range. Secondary access is provided by Asbell Rd, which skirts the northern reaches of the creek system. This 2012 survey illustrates the persistent isolation and ranching character of the high plains, where water sources and long-established freight paths remain the primary anchors for human activity.
