2013 Map of Rockland West

About this map

Rockland sits at the eastern edge of this agricultural and canyon landscape in Power County, where the valley floor meets the rising terrain of the Sawtooth National Forest to the south. The area is defined by a series of significant canyons and hollows, including Houtz Canyon, Dairy Canyon, and the appropriately named Dry Hollow, which carve through the high plateaus of Table Mtn and Little Table Mtn. Water management is central to the valley's settlement pattern, evidenced by the network of irrigation infrastructure such as US Ditch and the Lower W Ditch. Local hydrologic features like Warm Springs and Lupe Springs provide vital water sources in an otherwise arid environment. The map details a transition from the structured street grid of Rockland and nearby Rockland Valley to the more dispersed ranching and forestry roads like Powerhouse Rd and Dairy Springs Rd that climb into the higher elevations and ridges.
