Notes
  • Significance: Within a year after the Ute Reservation was opened for homestead entry in 1905, Thomas and Martha Rhoads built a homestead located about a mile north of the confluence of the west and north forks of the Duchesne River. The canal built by Thomas was constructed with a team of horses, slipscraper and the help of neighbors. The canal continues to have a large impact on the economic well-being of the community. In addition to providing an example of early irrigation techniques that has withstood the test of time, the canal underscores the cooperative spirit fostered by Mormons in the Great Basin, but also found in the development of the Uinta Basin.
