2017 Map of Duchesne NE

About this map

Irrigation infrastructure and rugged plateau geography define this 2017 survey of the northeastern outskirts of Duchesne. The Duchesne River valley serves as the central corridor for a complex network of waterways, including the Duchesne Feeder Canal, Gray Mountain Canal, and the tiered Rocky Point Canal system. To the north, the elevated Blue Bench dominates the landscape, featuring the Knight Ditch and Grant-Hansen Reservoir Number Three. The southern portion of the map is characterized by a series of deep drainages such as Coyote Canyon and Cottonwood Canyon. In the lower elevations, modern development is visible near the Duchesne Municipal Airport and along residential spurs like Big Buck Run Rd and Escalante Dr. This survey captures the vital relationship between the river and the surrounding arid high country, illustrating how water management has historically shaped land use in the Uinta Valley.
