1962 Map of Farm Creek Peak

About this map

Ashley National Forest and the Uintah and Ouray Indian Reservation meet in this high-altitude landscape of northeast Utah, where the headwaters of Farm Creek descend toward the Duchesne River. The topography is defined by prominent elevations like Farm Creek Peak and sheltered areas such as Winchester Flat and Round Grove. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, a complex network of agricultural infrastructure is visible, including the Jasper Canal, Pike Canal, and Thomas Canal, which divert water to the local valley. Notable landmarks for local history include the remote Tonigut Basin and Shotnick Basin, along with several jeep trails that navigate the ridges and hollows, such as Cottonwood Hollow and Rough Canyon. The presence of a Prospect and a Corral in the high timber suggests the traditional land use patterns of mining and grazing that shaped the development of Duchesne County.
