About this map

The community of Roberts and the small settlement of Fox are the primary population centers on this landscape, which is defined by an intricate network of irrigation canals and natural waterways. This elaborate system of water management includes the Crockett Ditch, Tuck Crockett Ditch, and Taylor Ditch, which redirect water from sources like Rock Cr and Clear Cr to support the agricultural terraces of West Bench and East Bench. These features illustrate the vital role of engineering in the local ranching and farming economy of Carbon County.

Local landmarks and family names are preserved throughout the survey, from the Roberts Cem and the isolated Bodair Grave to the Rock Creek Bridge. Named roads such as Maki Johnson and Johnson Ranch RD reflect the early landholding patterns of the region. The map also captures the varied terrain of the area, transitioning from the flat benchlands into the Dry Creek Basin and the meandering paths of Elbow Cr to the south.
