2020 Map of Farm Creek Peak

About this map

Ashley National Forest dominates the northern reaches of this landscape, where high ridgelines and deep canyons descend from Farm Creek Peak. The terrain is defined by a complex network of drainage systems, including the W Fork Farm Cr and E Fork Farm Cr, which transition into a sophisticated irrigation system as they reach the lower elevations. The southern portion of the map reveals the agricultural development of the Uinta Valley, where human engineering is evident in the extensive canal network. Settlers and ranchers utilized features like the Jasper Pike Canal, Farm Creek Canal, and Jesse Thomas Canal to divert water from the Duchesne River. This transition from the high-altitude wilderness of Rough Canyon and Winchester Flat to the managed water systems of the valley floor illustrates the critical reliance on mountain runoff for local life and industry.
