About this map

Robbers Roost Flats is characterized by a network of drainage systems and high points that historically provided natural refuge in this portion of Wayne County. The landscape is defined by deep incisions like South Fork Robbers Roost Canyon and Bluejohn Canyon, which define the movement of water and travelers through the region. Early ranching and traversal patterns are evident in the presence of the Roost Flat Corral and primitive routes such as Ekker Ranch Rd and Angel Point Rd.

Several vital water sources are mapped throughout the arid terrain, including Silverip Spring, Rabbit Brush Spring, and Granary Spring, each serving as critical landmarks for anyone navigating between Deadman Hill and the Twin Corral Box Canyon. The naming of features like Runts Knob and Coyote Flat reflects a history of local identification and utility in an area where reliable water and topography dictated survival and land use.
