Frontier Era



Family Ranch / Ancestral Land

The Ashton Ranch is one of the last independently held properties near Sandor, rooted in generations of labor, sacrifice, and stewardship.

It stands apart from expanding borders and rail surveys, refusing to bend to outside control.

More than a working ranch, it is a symbol of autonomy and continuity.

Those who know it understand it as a place where land is respected, not extracted—where history is preserved through care rather than conquest.

The ranch is a focal point of conflict, coveted by powerful interests and fiercely protected by the Ashton family.

Its fate becomes inseparable from Sandor’s future.

The Ashton Ranch represents legacy versus encroachment, asking whether something can endure simply by refusing to be sold.
