1992 Map of Oberg Ranch

About this map

Overland Flats and the neighboring Lake Flats define this high-altitude Carbon County landscape, where complex irrigation systems support isolated ranching operations. The map details an extensive network of water management, including the Nickel Scribner Ditch, Allen Ditch, and Swan Ditch, which redirect flow across the plains to support the Oberg Ranch and Moore Ranch. Evidence of earlier settlement is found at the Old Pennock Place (Aband), while the Standard Pass Creek Sch indicates the historical community center for these remote homesteads. The southeastern corner of the quadrangle transitions into the Medicine Bow National Forest, marking the shift from open grazing land to protected timber. Transport in the region is dominated by the Overland Road and several four-wheel-drive tracks that follow the natural contours of Pass Creek and its various forks.
