About this map

The confluence of the Lake Fork River and the Duchesne River anchors this study of Duchesne County, where an extensive irrigation network supports the high desert landscape. Settled communities like Arcadia and Bridgeland are surrounded by engineered waterways, including the Moon Lake Canal, Midview Lateral, and Ute-land Canal, which transform the arid plains of the Uinta Valley into productive land.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Old Loka Cem on the North Myton Bench and the Bridgeland Cem near the riverbanks. The map documents the varied topography of the Uintah Basin, from the low-lying Lake Boreham reservoir to the elevated reaches of Blue Bench and the carved terrain of Antelope Canyon. This 2017 edition details the complex water-management systems that have long defined rural life and ranching in eastern Utah.
