About this map

Tridell and Lapoint anchor this landscape in the Uinta Basin, where a complex network of man-made waterways supports high-desert agriculture. The prevalence of engineered irrigation, including the Whiterocks and Ouray Valley Canal, Deep Cr Canal, and Ouray Park Canal, reveals the critical reliance on diverted water from the north to sustain these rural communities. The map detail reflects a transition from the structured residential grid of Tridell to the more dispersed homesteads and agricultural plots near Lapoint.

Genealogists can find localized landmarks like the Tridell Cem and Lapoint Cem, while aviation history is marked by the presence of Paradise Air Park. The terrain shifts towards the southeast into Sand Wash, highlighting the natural drainage patterns of Deep Cr and Little Water that contrast with the straightened paths of the local canals. Roads like the E Highway 121 and Paradise Park RD provide the primary connections through this northern Utah territory.
