About this map

The Duchesne River and Lake Fork River converge in this high-desert basin, creating a landscape defined by an intricate network of irrigation engineering. A complex system of water management, including the Pahcease Canal, Uteland Canal, and Gray Mountain Canal, diverts river flow to support the agricultural settlements of Arcadia and Bridgeland. These man-made waterways emphasize the effort required to cultivate the benches between the river valleys.

Evidence of early ranching and community life is found at the Old Ioka Cemetery on North Myton Bench and the Sheep Camp Corral in Pleasant Valley. The map also identifies Boreham Memorial situated on the eastern shore of Lake Boreham. This document preserves the footprint of a rural economy where transport routes like Antelope Canyon Rd and 9 Mile Rd connect isolated homesteads to the river-bottom lands.
