2010 Map of Robbers Roost Flats

About this map

Robbers Roost Flats and the surrounding high desert of Wayne County appear here in detail, centered on a network of remote ranching roads and ancient drainage systems. The landscape is defined by its water sources, where vital points like Robbers Roost Spring, Crow Seep, and Silvertip Spring provided lifeblood for livestock and travelers in an arid environment. Human activity is anchored by the Biddlecome Ranch, situated along Ekker Ranch Rd. This area has long served as a corridor for movement across the desert, as evidenced by Hans Flat Rd traversing the eastern portion of the map. Dramatic geological features cut through the flats, including the deep South Fork Robbers Roost Canyon and Bluejohn Canyon. To the south, the terrain becomes increasingly complex near The Pinnacles and Corral Box Canyon, illustrating the transition from open plateaus to the intricate canyon systems that characterize this part of the Colorado Plateau.
