2012 Map of Robertson

About this map

Robertson and Pine Grove serve as the primary focal points of this 2012 study of southwestern Wyoming, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of natural waterways and early 21st-century irrigation infrastructure. The topography is shaped by the parallel courses of Blacks Fork, Smiths Fork, and Willow Creek, which flow northward through a terrain marked by family-named landmarks like Ingersoll Wash and Bugas Draw. Historical land use is evident in the presence of the Johnson Cemetery and several significant water management features, including the Lambs Supply Ditch and Milich Ditch. From the high point of Dans Nipple to the level expanse of Nebraska Flat, the map documents a ranching and agricultural corridor dependent on the perennial flows from Gold Spring and the Pine Grove Canal.
