About this map

Ashley Valley serves as the focal point of this 2014 survey, where the expanding residential and commercial footprints of Vernal, Maeser, and Naples meet. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of irrigation systems, including the Steinaker Service Canal, Ashley Central Canal, and the Highline Canal, which have long supported the region's agricultural development. These canals contrast with the dry, elevated terrain of Asphalt Ridge and Shindy Ridge to the west.

Local history is preserved in landmarks such as Rock Point Cem and Fairview Cem, while the modern infrastructure of the Vernal Regional Airport and Air Village Strip indicates the area's role as a regional transportation hub. From the industrial remnants at Coal Mine Basin to the public spaces like Vernal Memorial Park, the map captures the transition from traditional mining and ranching roots to a modern Utah population center.
