2020 Map of Altamont

About this map

The Lake Fork River carves a path through this section of Duchesne County, defining a landscape marked by an intricate irrigation system that supports the local agricultural settlements. Communities such as Altamont, Mount Emmons, and Boneta are linked by a network of waterways including the Lake Fork Western Canal, C Canal, and S Boneta Canal. These features illustrate the essential role of water management in the Uintah Basin, where the plateau of Blue Bench overlooks the drainage basins of Pigeon Water Cr and Big Hollow. For those tracing local history or family roots, the map provides precise locations for the Altamont - Mount Emmons Cem and the Boneta - Mountain Home Cem, alongside topographic details of named draws like Kuntz Hollow and Clement Hollow.
