About this map

The small settlement of Robertson serves as the focal point of this southwestern Wyoming landscape, situated where the high plains meet the intricate water management systems of Uinta County. Agricultural development is evident through an extensive network of irrigation features including the Pine Grove Canal, Lambs Canal, and several named water courses like the Davis and Company Ditch. These man-made channels diverge from the natural flows of Blacks Fork and Smiths Fork, illustrating the region's reliance on diverted water for ranching and farming on Nebraska Flat.

Local history is anchored by the Historical Monument (Fort Supply), marking the site of a mid-19th-century pioneer outpost. The terrain transitions from these irrigated valleys toward prominent landmarks such as White Ridge and the distinctively named Dans Nipple to the southwest. Genealogists will find interest in the Johnson Cem, while the various draws and washes, including Ingersoll Evans Wash and Bugas Wash, trace the natural drainage patterns of the high desert environment.
