About this map

Starvation Lake State Beach and the massive Starvation Reservoir dominate the center of this 1980s landscape, where the high desert plateau of the Uintah and Ouray Indian Reservation meets the foothills of the Uinta National Forest. The geography is defined by the descent of the Duchesne River and its many tributaries, including the Strawberry River and Lake Fork River, which carve through deep gulches and across broad benches like Blue Bench. Local life centers around a network of high-country settlements such as Tabiona, Altamont, and Myton. This map captures the region's complex water management system, showing numerous canals and reservoirs like Red Creek Reservoir and Lake Boreham that sustain the arid valley floor below the looming peaks of Tabby Mountain and Blacktail Mountain.
