1965 Map of Hancock Cove

About this map

Uintah and Ouray Indian Reservation lands dominate the western half of this Duchesne County landscape, where the high terrain of Page Bench and Harmson Bench overlooks the fertile basin of Hancock Cove. In the mid-1960s, this region was defined by a complex irrigation network essential for high-desert agriculture, featuring the Sheehan Canal, Martin Lateral, and the Myton North Lateral Canal. These water systems draw from Cottonwood Creek and Dry Gulch Creek, supporting scattered settlements like Cedarview and Ioka.
