About this map

The high desert landscape of Duchesne County unfolds across this 2020 map, where the settlement of Neola serves as a local hub amidst a complex network of man-made waterways. The agricultural life of the region is traced through an intricate system of gravity-fed irrigation, including the Yellowstone Extension Canal, Uintah Canal, and numbered laterals like Lateral Number 1 and Lateral Number 5. These structures dictate the layout of the land, cutting through the natural topography of Coyote Basin and the Big Draw.

Genealogists will find several significant burial sites, including Neola Cem, Monach Cem, and Greenhalgh Cem, which are situated near the small community of Monarch. To the north and west, the terrain rises into the dramatic elevations of Cottonwood Canyon and John Starr Flat, while the southeastern corner is defined by the unique geological formation known as The Crescent and the expanse of Nephi Bench.
