About this map

The settlement of Roy occupies the high northern reaches of the Rockland Valley, situated where the S Fork Rock Cr begins its descent through the drainage. This high-desert landscape is defined by the stark transition from the valley floor to the surrounding heights of the Sublett Range and the Colson Basin. To the south, the Curlew National Grassland encompasses a large portion of the territory, preserving the open character of the sagebrush steppe.

Tracing the topography reveals a network of springs essential to life in this arid region, including Lonigan Springs and Sagehen Springs. Local elevation reaches its peak at landmarks like Quaking Asp Mtn and Buck Peak, while names like Heydlauff Canyon and Sager Canyon reflect the pioneer families who established roots here. The map provides a clear look at the modern rural infrastructure, from Roy Summit down to the remote roads connecting these high basins.
