1955 Map of Oberg Ranch

About this map

The Overland Road crosses this high-elevation Wyoming landscape, tracing a historic path through Overland Flats and Lake Creek Flats during the mid-1950s. Water management defines the settlement pattern here, with an intricate network of irrigation channels like the Scribner Ditch, Ault Highline Ditch, and Smiley Ditch supporting remote homesteads. Ranching remains the primary footprint on the land, evidenced by Oberg Ranch and Moore Ranch, while sites like the Old Pennock Place (Aband) and Standard School (Aband) indicate a shift in rural occupancy.
