2017 Map of Roscoe

About this map

Roscoe and Luther serve as the primary anchors for this region of Carbon County, where the landscape is defined by a sophisticated system of high-altitude irrigation. Numerous waterworks including the Main Canal, Schock-Scott Ditch, and Peabody Ditch crisscross the terrain, supporting ranching operations situated between Spring Creek Bench and Sheep Mtn. The map reveals a deep connection to the land through numerous private burial sites, such as the Burnett Ranch Cem, Luoma Ranch Cem, and the lone Elessens Ranch Grave. These landmarks, alongside the northern edge of the Custer National Forest, illustrate a pattern of persistent family settlement. The network of local roads, such as Luther-Roscoe Rd and Volney Creek Rd, follows the natural contours of the drainages, connecting disparate homesteads to the small community hubs.
