About this map

Pleasant Valley and the surrounding high desert terrain define this corner of the Uinta Basin, where water management is central to the landscape. In the northern reaches, the Upper Pleasant Valley Canal and Lower Pleasant Valley Canal represent the vital irrigation infrastructure necessary for sustaining agriculture and ranching in this arid region. The topographical character is marked by significant features like Pariette Bench and the prominent height of Castle Peak, which serves as a major landmark. Toward the southeast, the presence of Snyder Reservoir and Snyder Spring highlights localized water sources in a landscape otherwise dominated by extensive drainage systems such as Wells Draw and Castle Peak Draw. This survey illustrates the intersections of natural landforms and human-made water diversions in Duchesne County.
