About this map

Royal City stands at the southern base of the Frenchman Hills, anchor to an agricultural landscape defined by extensive water management in Grant County. The topography reveals the complex engineering required to farm this arid region, featuring the Frenchman Hills Wasteway to the north and the Crab Cr Lateral Extension and Royal-Br-Canal-Wasteway to the south. These irrigation features support the orchards and fields of the Royal Slope, where the grid of county roads—such as Frenchman Hills Rd W and Rd 13 SW—organizes the territory into productive blocks.

Local infrastructure includes the Stillwater Creek Airport and B & G Farms Airport, reflecting the importance of aerial access for large-scale farming operations. Natural landmarks like Red Rock Coulee, Sand Hollow, and the prominence of Cash Butte provide geographic contrast to the straight-lined canals and roads. This map documents a modern western agricultural hub where land use is intimately tied to the seasonal movement of water through the coulees and man-made channels.
