2011 Map of Pelican Lake

About this map

Pelican Lake serves as a central focal point for this section of the Uintah Basin, defined by its water management and agricultural infrastructure. The landscape is marked by a rigid grid of rural roads, including 4000 S and 6000 S, which service the small settlements of Leota and Ouray Park. This network reflects a history of irrigation and settlement in an arid environment, further anchored by the Pelican Lake Dam and nearby Pelican Lake Campground. To the south and west, the terrain gives way to the winding paths of the Duchesne River and the Green River, providing a sharp contrast to the geometric precision of the upland ranching areas. Geographic features such as Silvestre Overlook and the low-lying Brennan Btm offer a view into the regional topography where the high desert meets the river valleys.
