Oshie Ridge is one of the two ridges making the Sankwala Mountains with the other ridge known as Sankwala.[1]

The Oshie Plateau

Oshie Ridge has a relatively flat top, forming a plateau on the ridge. The plateau is known as the Obudu Plateau.

The Plateau has a ranch developed on it by three Scottish ranchers named McCaughley, Hugh Jones and Crawfeild in 1951, after McCaughley first explored the sankwala mountain ranges in 1949 and invited his remaining two fellow ranchers Hugh Jones and Crawfeild to develop the ranch.[2] The ranch contains cattle and is popularly known as the Obudu Cattle Ranch.[3][4]
