2014 Map of Farm Creek Peak

About this map

Ashley National Forest dominates the high-elevation landscape of this Duchesne County region, where the terrain shifts from the prominent Farm Creek Peak down into the productive bottomlands of the Uinta Valley. The map documents a sophisticated network of early 21st-century water management infrastructure designed to support the local agriculture, including the Farm Cr Canal, Little Farm Cr Canal, and the Jasper Pike Canal. These man-made features trace the natural contours of the land alongside the Duchesne River, illustrating the vital connection between water rights and settlement in this part of Utah. In the higher reaches, geographic points like Winchester Flat, Burnt Ridge, and Shotnick Basin offer precise locations for researchers tracking land use and resource extraction history within the forest boundaries.
