1963 Map of Robbers Roost Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The San Rafael Desert landscape of Wayne and Emery counties reveals a remote ranching and grazing geography as it appeared in the early 1960s. The map centers on the high Robbers Roost Flats, a plateau defined by its complex drainage systems including the North Fork, Middle Fork, and South Fork Robbers Roost Canyon. This era shows the continued utility of established water sources like Robbers Roost Spring and Silvertip Spring, alongside evidence of ranching operations at Biddlecome Ranch and the North Spring Cabin.
