About this map

The California-Oregon Trl cuts across the southern portion of this high-desert landscape, marking the enduring path of westward migration near the border of Sublette and Sweetwater Counties. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems and draws, including the prominent Figure Four Canyon to the northwest and Buckhorn Canyon further south. A single namesake settlement, Oasis Well, stands central to the map, illustrating the vital importance of water sources in this arid stretch of Wyoming.

Modern infrastructure follows the historical grain of the land, with Monument Butte Rd and Hunt Rd providing access to the interior. Small waterways like Slate Cr drain the higher elevations, while numerous Bureau of Land Management routes, such as BLM-4205, weave through the draws. The map captures a landscape where cattle ranching and historical transit routes overlap, preserved in a high-plateau environment that remains largely unchanged since the era of early overland travel.
