About this map

Duchesne sits at the confluence of the Strawberry River and the Duchesne River, serving as a central hub in the Uinta Valley. This 2017 survey illustrates the complex irrigation and water management systems vital to the region, including the Murray White Canal, Pioneer Canal, City Canal, and Knight Ditch. The presence of Starvation Reservoir dominates the northwestern landscape, featuring shoreline points like Pulley Bend and inflows through Saleratus Wash.

Genealogists and local historians can locate three distinct burial grounds in this area: Strawberry Cem to the west, and the Theodore Cem and City Cem closer to the town center. The map also delineates the plateau topography of the surrounding terrain, such as Hair Bench, West Bench, and Blue Bench, which define the northern approach to the river valley. Infrastructure like the Duchesne Municipal Airport and a grid of residential streets like N Center St and Hillside Ave show the modern development of this high-desert community.
