1971 Map of Rockland East

About this map

The high desert valley of Rockland Valley serves as the focal point for this 1971 study, where the modest settlement of Rockland sits at the base of the rising Deep Creek Mountains. The landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of the South Fork Rock Creek and East Fork Rock Creek, which carve through the benchlands alongside smaller seasonal systems like Sand Hollow and Dry Hollow. Agriculture and infrastructure are evident through labels for a Ditch, a Siphon, and several Storage Bins scattered across the valley floor. To the west, the distinctive peak of Mollys Nipple overlooks the terrain, while the eastern canyons, including Howard Mill Canyon and Hutchinson Canyon, show a more complex topography of springs and trails. A local Cemetery and several Barrow Pits provide specific points of interest for those tracing the historical footprint of this Power County community.
