2023 Map of Hancock Cove

About this map

The high desert landscape of Duchesne County unfolds through a sophisticated network of irrigation and water management, centered on the communities of Roosevelt and Hancock Cove. This modern survey documents the vital water infrastructure that sustains the Uinta Basin, including the Cedarview Canal, Page Canal, and Hancock Lateral. These engineered waterways follow the contours of the terrain, specifically serving the flat agricultural expanses of Harmston Bench and Page Bench. To the north, the settlement of Cedarview and its associated Cedarview Cem provide a focal point for genealogical research, while the Roosevelt Municipal Airport and a grid of rural roads like Bluebell Rd mark the modern footprint of the region. The map also captures the natural drainage systems of Dry Gulch Creek and Cottonwood Creek, which contrast with the straight lines of the man-made laterals and canals.
