2017 Map of Fort Duchesne

About this map

Fort Duchesne and the nearby settlement of Gusher anchor this Uintah County landscape, reflecting a history of irrigation and agricultural development in northeastern Utah. The map reveals a complex network of man-made waterways, including the Moffat Canal, Ouray Park Canal, and Henyline Canal, which divert water from the E Channel Uinta River and W Channel Uinta River to sustain the arid basin. Reservoirs such as Bottle Hollow Reservoir and Bullock Draw Reservoir further illustrate the region's managed water system. For local historians, the presence of the Fort Duchesne Cem and Gusher Cem provides specific points of interest for genealogical research. The physical geography is defined by prominent landmarks like Randlett Butte and the drainage of Deep Cr, showing the intersection of natural desert terrain and decades of water engineering.
