About this map

Roosevelt and the surrounding agricultural basin of Duchesne County are defined by a complex irrigation network essential to this high-desert landscape. The intricate system of waterways, including the North Lateral C Canal, Hancock Lateral, and Page Canal, reflects the region's historical reliance on diverted water to support settlements like Ioka, Cedarview, and Hancock. These communities are situated between distinct topographical features such as Harmston Bench and Page Bench, which overlook the natural drainages of Cottonwood Creek and Dry Gulch Creek.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Cedarview Cemetery in the northern portion of the quadrangle, while the presence of the Roosevelt Municipal Airport indicates the modern infrastructure serving the Uintah Basin. The grid of roads, such as Reject Ridge Rd and Bluebell Rd, connects isolated farmsteads to the central hub at Roosevelt, documenting the persistent rural character of the area in the early 21st century.
