1963 Map of Robbers Roost Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The San Rafael Desert dominates this high-plateau landscape, where the rugged drainages of Robbers Roost Canyon and its many forks carve deep into the sandstone. During the early 1960s, this area remained a sparsely populated frontier of ranching and livestock movement, centered around isolated points like Biddlecome Ranch and Village Home. The complex network of canyons, including Blue John Canyon and No Mans Canyon, is interspersed with vital water sources such as Robbers Roost Spring, Blue John Spring, and Granary Spring, which were essential for survival in this arid environment.
