2011 Map of Vernal NE

About this map

Vernal and the nearby community of Maeser sit at the center of an intricate irrigation network in this 2011 survey of the Uintah Basin. The landscape is defined by the vital movement of water through the Ashley Central Canal, Highline Canal, and several other named ditches branching off Ashley Creek. These water systems supported the agricultural expansion of the region, while landmarks like Dinosaur Gardens and the Vernal Post Office mark the urban development of the city. To the south and west, the terrain rises into the mineral-rich Asphalt Ridge and Coal Mine Basin, reflecting the area's long association with natural resource extraction. Local history is preserved at Rock Point Cemetery and Fairview Cemetery, providing essential reference points for genealogists. The presence of the Vernal Airport and the smaller Air Village Strip highlights the modern transportation infrastructure serving this high-desert gateway.
