About this map

Rock Creek carves a central path through this Carbon County landscape, defining the layout of rural life near Roberts. The map details a sophisticated network of irrigation systems essential to the region's agricultural character, including the Kivikangas Ditch, Feeley Ditch, and the Tuck-Crockett Ditch. These waterways support the elevated plateaus of West Bench and East Bench, illustrating how water management shaped the settlement patterns of the early 21st century.

Genealogists and local historians can find specific markers of the community's past and present, such as the Roberts Cemetery and the lonely Bodair Grave located further east. The transition from the lower Dry Creek Basin to the heights of Porcupine Ridge is bridged by a series of ranch roads and local thoroughfares like Maki Johnson Road and Ladvalla Road, which connect the scattered homesteads of Fox to the primary residential center at Roberts.
