1965 Map of Altonah

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The Uintah and Ouray Indian Reservation dominates the northern reaches of this landscape, where the Yellowstone River and Lake Fork River emerge from higher elevations. In the mid-1960s, the rural community of Altonah served as a central hub for the surrounding agricultural lands, supported by a sophisticated network of irrigation infrastructure including the Payne Canal, Yellowstone Feeder Canal, and Lake Fork Canal. This irrigation system illustrates the intensive water management required to sustain ranching and farming in the high desert. To the south, the Altonah Cem and the Boys Camp provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians. The map also captures several family-named landmarks such as Chidester Springs and topographical features like Clay Basin and Water Hollow, reflecting the traditional naming conventions of early settlers in Duchesne County.
