About this map

Mountain Home serves as the primary settlement hub on this Duchesne County landscape, situated where the high desert terrain begins its descent toward the river valleys. The topography is defined by significant landmarks such as Bald Knoll and the Twin Knolls, while local drainages like Draper Hollow and Big Hollow carve through the plateau. This 2020 map documents an intricate network of water management, essential for the arid environment of Towanta Flat.

Water distribution is prominent throughout the quadrangle, featuring engineered systems like the Farnsworth Canal and several numbered laterals, including Lateral Number 2 and Lateral Number 3. These irrigation features run alongside natural waterways such as the Lake Fork River and Salt Cr. Transportation in the area relies on established routes like Rock Creek Rd and Yellow Stone Rd, which connect the scattered agricultural and residential properties to the larger Duchesne County network.
