2014 Map of Roosevelt

About this map

Roosevelt and the surrounding Uinta Basin landscape are defined by an intricate network of irrigation and water management, as seen in this 2014 topographic study. Water from Montes Cr Reservoir and various high-elevation benches is distributed through a complex system of canals and laterals, including the Blackhawk Lateral, Bench Canal, and the Roosevelt Lateral. This infrastructure supports the agricultural settlements of Ballard and Bennett, while Fort Duchesne sits near the eastern edge of the survey area. The terrain is marked by distinctive geological steps such as Nephi Bench and Indian Bench, which overlook the natural drainages of Dry Gulch Cr and Cottonwood Cr. The industrial presence is visible via the Oil Field Rd in the northeast, while local history is anchored by the Roosevelt City Cem and the Bottle Hollow reservoir area.
