2017 Map of Robbers Roost Flats

About this map

Robbers Roost Flats serves as a central plateau within this remote section of Wayne County, defined by a complex network of deep drainages including Middle Fork Robbers Roost Canyon and South Fork Robbers Roost Canyon. The landscape is etched with historical ranching and resource extraction markers, such as the Oil Well Rd/Roost House and the Roost Flat Corral. These features, along with names like Ekker Ranch Rd, highlight the area's legacy of cattle ranching and early petroleum exploration. Water sources, vital in this arid environment, are meticulously noted, including Silvertip Spring, Granary Spring, and Crow Seep. The topography becomes increasingly dramatic toward the south, where The Pinnacles stand above the head of Twin Corral Box Canyon.
