1973 Map of Roy NE

About this map

Rock Land Valley defines the central axis of this landscape, serving as a corridor for the South Fork Rock Creek and the primary north-south transit route. In the early 1970s, the area remained dominated by large-scale ranching and agriculture, evidenced by scattered Storage Bins and a Corral near the valley floor. The surrounding terrain is deeply incised by a series of drainages, including Hartley Canyon and Flint Canyon to the west, and the broad Portage Canyon to the northeast. Local industry is marked by several Gravel Pit sites, suggesting the ongoing maintenance of the rural road network. Numerous named Springs throughout the quadrangle highlight the critical importance of water sources in this high-desert environment, where the land transitions between steep canyon walls and open valley flats.
