About this map

Monarch Ridge and Tower Ridge dominate the rugged landscape of this section of Duchesne County, where the high desert terrain is defined by deep drainages and sophisticated water management systems. The engineering of the high Uinta Basin is evident in the complex network of irrigation features, including the Yellowstone Extension Canal, the Yellowstone Feeder Canal, and the Bluebell Lateral. These systems demonstrate how early 21st-century agricultural needs continued to shape the land, directing water through arid reaches like Spring Hollow and Clay Basin.

Local landmarks such as John Starr Flat and Water Hollow provide specific points of reference for those studying land use and historical grazing patterns in the region. Transportation across this geography is facilitated by a network of established routes, including Jackson Park Rd and Cottonwood Wash Rd, which navigate the elevation changes between Cottonwood Canyon and the surrounding flats. The map serves as a detailed record of how drainage systems like Timothy Cr and Dry Gulch Cr intersect with human-made infrastructure.
