2014 Map of Fort Duchesne

About this map

Fort Duchesne and Gusher anchor this 2014 landscape in the Uintah Basin, revealing a complex network of man-made waterways essential to the region's agricultural and tribal history. The map detail highlights the intensive irrigation infrastructure including the Ouray Park Canal, Moffat Canal, and Henry Jim Canal, which divert water across the arid terrain to support local life. These canals, alongside the Bottle Hollow Reservoir and Cottonwood Reservoir, illustrate the management of scarce water resources in a region characterized by prominent geological features like Randlett Butte and Sand Wash. For genealogists and local historians, the inclusion of the Ft Duchesne Cem and specific road networks like Fausett Ranch Rd and Oil Field Rd provides precise points of reference for tracing family property and community development near the Uintah and Ouray Reservation.
