2014 Map of Altamont

About this map

Lake Fork River bisects this landscape in Duchesne County, providing the primary water source for an extensive network of irrigation infrastructure. This system includes the Lake Fork Canal, Sboneta Canal, and the Lake Fork Western Canal, which sustain the agricultural operations near Altamont and Boneta. The map documents the layout of local rural settlements such as Mount Emmons and Bluebell, alongside more isolated features like the P X Ranch. Genealogy researchers will find value in the specific locations of the Boneta-Mountain Home Cem and the Altamont-Mount Emmons Cem. The terrain is defined by dramatic changes in elevation, from the high Blue Bench in the south to named depressions like Kuntz Hollow and Clement Hollow, illustrating how the township-and-range grid adapts to the natural drainage patterns of Pigeon-Water Cr.
