2014 Map of Vernal SW

About this map

Ouray Valley Canal and the Ouray Park Canal define the irrigation infrastructure of this Uintah County landscape. This 2014 survey shows the critical role of water management in the arid terrain, anchored by Brough Reservoir in the south. The map documents a transition from the lower elevations near Sand Wash to the dissected plateaus of Halfway Hollow. A network of thoroughfares, including Us-191 and N Highway 88, bisects the townships of T5S R19E and T6S R20E. Local ranching and land use are evident through features like S Parrish Ranch Rd and the extensive Twelvemile Wash drainage system. The layout of these canals and access roads provides a detailed picture of modern rural development and water rights in this part of eastern Utah.
