About this map

Mountain Home sits at the intersection of a complex water management system and the natural topography of Duchesne County. The landscape is defined by the Lake Fork River and Salt Cr in the northeast, which feed into a sophisticated network of man-made irrigation features, including the Farnsworth Canal and several numbered laterals like Lateral Number 1 and Lateral Number 2. This infrastructure supports the agricultural activity visible across the broader terrain of Towanta Flat.

To the west, the terrain becomes more varied with prominent local landmarks such as Bald Knoll and the Twin Knolls. The map details the drainage patterns of Pigeon Water Cr as it winds through Big Hollow and Draper Hollow. This 2017 survey illustrates the balance between the natural watercourses of the High Uintas foothills and the developed irrigation necessary for the small community of Mountain Home.
