About this map

Roosevelt serves as the focal point of this mid-1960s survey, situated along the border of Duchesne Co and Uintah Co. The town’s social landscape is defined by its educational and civic institutions, including Union High Sch and a Drive-in Theater on the western edge. To the east, the landscape transitions into the Uintah and Ouray Indian Reservation, where the Ute Mission and Todd Sch are located near the Indian Bench Canal.

Water management is central to the area's development, evidenced by the intricate network of the Aqueduct, various Lateral lines, and the Montes Creek Reservoir with its recorded spillway elevation. The physical geography is marked by distinct plateaus like Blackhawk Bench and Indian Bench, which are carved by Montes Creek and Cottonwood Creek. The presence of the Roosevelt Municipal Airport and a Gravel Pit indicates a period of local infrastructure growth and resource extraction in this Utah basin.
