About this map

The Duchesne River and its confluence with the Lake Fork River anchor this topographic view of the Uinta Basin, centered on the town of Myton. The landscape is defined by an extensive network of irrigation infrastructure essential to the high desert region, including the Dry Gulch Canal, Upper Pleasant Valley Canal, and Riverdell Canal. These man-made waterways navigate the flat expanses of the North Myton Bench and South Myton Bench, illustrating the region's historical reliance on water engineering for agricultural development.

Local landmarks such as Flattop Butte rise above the surrounding terrain, while the Myton City Reservoir and Hancock Reservoir provide critical water storage. For those researching local history or genealogy, the map identifies the Myton Cemetery and the Ioka Cemetery to the north. Transportation routes such as the Indian Hwy and 9 Mile Rd provide insight into the road network connecting these rural communities and the nearby Pleasant Valley Wash.
