About this map

The Duchesne River winds through this high desert landscape, serving as the primary geographic corridor for transportation and water management. Irrigation infrastructure is prominent, with the Rocky Point B Canal and Knight Ditch diverting water to the arid uplands of Blue Bench. These features reflect the long-standing reliance on engineering to support agriculture and settlement in the Duchesne County region.

Upland areas are defined by significant drainage systems such as Coyote Canyon and Cottonwood Canyon, while the northern portion of the quadrangle shows the storage capacity of the Grant Hansen Reservoir Number Three, secured by the Grant Hansen Reservoir Number Three Dam. Transportation routes like East River Rd and the uniquely named Gray Mountain Thief follow the contours of the river valley, connecting the rural outskirts to the Duchesne Municipal Airport.
