About this map

The Duchesne River valley serves as the primary corridor for settlement and agriculture in this corner of the Uintah Basin. The town of Tabiona is concentrated along the river, supported by an intricate network of irrigation infrastructure including the Farm Creek Canal, Tabby Canal, Jasper Pike Canal, and several named water diversions like Bridger Ditch and Hicken Ditch. These systems suggest a landscape deeply shaped by the necessity of water management for mountain-valley farming.

Rising sharply from the river bottoms are prominent landforms such as Windy Ridge and Blacktail Ridge, while the northern reaches provide access to the Tabiona-Redcliff Cemetery. The terrain is marked by numerous draws and hollows with local family names, such as Hicken Hollow and Barberra Hollow, alongside more descriptive features like Golden Stairs Canyon and Santaquin Draw. This survey captures the rural character of the area where residential life along Carter Ln and Resort Dr meets the high-desert topography of the Duchesne County uplands.
