2017 Map of Vernal NE

About this map

Ashley Valley serves as the focal point for this 2017 survey of northeastern Utah, where the city of Vernal and the neighboring community of Maeser sit amidst an intricate network of irrigation infrastructure. The landscape is defined by the vital movement of water through the Ashley Central Canal, the Steinaker Feeder Canal, and the Highline Canal, supporting the agricultural life of the basin. To the south and west, the terrain rises sharply toward Asphalt Ridge and the Coal Mine Basin, providing a stark contrast to the developed corridors of Naples and the industrial activity near the Vernal Regional Airport. This map offers detailed placement of local landmarks for researchers, including the Rock Point Cem and Fairview Cem, alongside specialized features like the Air Village Strip. The intersection of natural draws, such as Steinaker Draw, and human-engineered waterways illustrates the long-standing efforts to manage the arid environment of Uintah County.
