2023 Map of Fort Duchesne
USGS Topo · Published 2023About this map
Fort Duchesne anchors this section of Uintah County, where the desert landscape is defined by an intricate network of irrigation and water management systems. The hydrology of the area is centered on the Uinta River, which splits into the East Channel Uinta River and West Channel Uinta River. Man-made efforts to harness this water are evident in the sprawling reaches of the Ouray Park Canal, Moffat Canal, and the Ouray Valley Canal, which feed agricultural interests across the arid terrain. To the north, the Bullock Draw Reservoir provides a significant water cache, while the southern landscape is marked by the distinct elevation of Randlett Butte. For those studying the community history of the region, the map identifies local burial sites including the Fort Duchesne Cem, Gusher Cem, and the Uintah and Ouray Indian Cem, reflecting the area's complex cultural heritage. Small clusters of habitation like Gusher sit along the primary transport corridors, while Bottle Hollow and Sand Wash highlight the natural geological features that break up the plateau.
