Duchesne County's public parcel map is the Duchesne County ArcGIS parcel map, hosted on an Esri ArcGIS web map. Once parcel lines appear, click any tract near Altamont to see who owns it and how many acres the county records.

The lay of the land in Duchesne County
On the map, Duchesne anchors the county as its seat, with Myton, Roosevelt, Altamont, and Tabiona spread around it. The county dates to 1915, named for Duchesne River, and older deeds may still refer to landmarks from that era. Duchesne County covers about 3,235 square miles of land; its 2023 population estimate from the Census Bureau was 20,477. Sparse settlement means wide parcels. Outside Roosevelt the county map reads as a quilt of large holdings with long gaps between houses. Public land in or near the county, including Ashley National Forest, High Uintas Wilderness, and Wasatch-Cache National Forest, changes how nearby private land sells.
Who uses the Duchesne County parcel map
Here's who tends to use it in Duchesne County.
- Hunters in Duchesne County use the owner names to line up permission well before the season.
- For hobby-farm buyers near Altamont, the parcel map shows how a tract sits against its neighbors and the road.

Using the Duchesne County GIS map to find vacant land
Try this the next time you're looking for land near Roosevelt:
- Run the aerial layer along US 191 and the side roads off it, flagging any tract with no structures.
- A tax bill mailed far from Boneta usually means an absentee owner, so note the mailing address on each record.
- Compare the record's land value against similar parcels on the same road out of Altamont.
- Check that the tract touches a public road; a landlocked lot near Altamont can be hard to finance and build on.
- Check the flood layer and ask about septic and permits; open land in Duchesne County isn't automatically buildable.
Before you buy near Altamont, read how to tell if land is buildable.
Private and public hunting ground in Duchesne County
Getting on private ground in Duchesne County is about relationships, and those start with the owner name on the parcel record. Around Ashley National Forest and High Uintas Wilderness, private tracts can press right up against the public boundary, so check the lines before you walk in.

In the field near Myton, respect posted signs and painted boundaries even where the map line looks different.
Property lines in Duchesne County, Utah
On rural tracts near Boneta, the parcel lines can drift from the fences on the ground, sometimes by more than a few feet. Out past Altamont, rural deeds usually cite a section, township and range, and those section lines often show on the parcel layer. For a fence, an addition or a dispute in Duchesne County, budget for a licensed survey; it's the answer a court or a lender will accept.
Where Duchesne County deeds and plats are kept
For land near Myton, the parcel record is the index; the recorded deed is the source. Names differ across states, so confirm on the official Duchesne County site which office records deeds and plats. When the chain of title matters for land near Tabiona, ask for the full deed history or hire a title company in Utah.
