2014 Map of Mountain Home

About this map

The settlement of Mountain Home serves as the focal point for this section of Duchesne County, where the high desert terrain meets an intricate network of irrigation and natural drainage. The landscape is defined by its dramatic relief, featuring prominent landmarks like Bald Knoll and the Twin Knolls, as well as the deep erosional cuts of Big Hollow and Draper Hollow. Water management is central to the area's geography, with the Lake Fork River and Pigeon Water Cr supplemented by human-made infrastructure like the Farnsworth Canal and several numbered laterals. This intersection of natural watercourses and irrigation canals across the Towanta Flat illustrates the region's reliance on hydraulic engineering to support its rural character. A grid of county roads, such as Bear Hollow Rd and Yellowstone Rd, provides access across the shifting elevations from the heights of Bear Hollow down to the valley floors.
