About this map

Oregon Trail Rd cuts across the northern reaches of this Sublette County landscape, tracing a historic path through terrain defined by high ridges and seasonal drainages. The New Fork River winds through the northwestern corner, providing a vital water source in an otherwise arid environment where ranching remains a primary influence. The eponymous Olsen Ranch is situated south of Burma Rd, anchoring the local geography amidst features like Ross Ridge and the poetically named En Tus Sueños.

Water management is central to the land's utility, evidenced by the presence of Mack Reservoir and Granite Reservoir. Transportation follows the contours of the land, with Boulder South Rd and Blue Rim Rd connecting the scattered sites. The map illustrates a contemporary view of traditional Wyoming ranching country, where natural landmarks like Blue Rim and North Alkali Draw continue to serve as the primary points of orientation.
