About this map

Lake Boreham sits at the center of a complex irrigation landscape in this Duchesne County region, where the Lake Fork River and Duchesne River converge. The intricate network of man-made waterways, including the Duchesne Feeder Canal, Red Cap Canal, and Moon Lake Canal, reveals the intensive engineering required to sustain agricultural life in the Uinta Valley. Small settlements like Arcadia and Bridgeland anchor the community, while landmarks such as Boreham Memorial and the Old Loka Cem provide vital touchpoints for local genealogical research.

Elevated terrain features such as Blue Bench, North Myton Bench, and South Myton Bench dictate the placement of roads and canals. This 2014 survey documents the enduring reliance on gravity-fed water systems, with numerous ditches and laterals, like Midview Lateral and Pahcease Canal, threading between the river basins. The map also traces the path of W Highway 40 as it cuts across Antelope Canyon, connecting these high-desert farming outposts.
