About this map

The small settlement of Roy occupies a high-desert landscape defined by complex drainages and ranching heritage. Located north of Quaking Asp Mountain, the area is characterized by a network of seasonal water sources including Lonigan Springs, Sagehen Springs, and Hansen Spring, which supported the early development of properties like Hansen Ranch. The terrain is a labyrinth of deep cuts, with Holloway Canyon and Colson Canyon feeding into broader features like the Colson Basin.

Transportation through this part of Power County centers on the climb toward Roy Summit, where roads such as Harris Kress Rd and Old Hwy 37 follow natural contours between the high peaks. The course of South Fork Rock Creek provides the primary hydrological axis for the region, cutting through the southern landscape and influencing the placement of early homesteads and cattle operations across Flat Ridge and Buck Peak.
