Talmage offers wide-open horizons, a slower pace, and easy access to big scenery in the Uinta Basin. Set along SR-87 between Duchesne and Roosevelt, residents head a few minutes in either direction for groceries, healthcare, and year-round community events. Neighboring Altamont adds small-town conveniences, while county services and resources are supported through Duchesne County.

Summer days often mean boating and paddleboarding at Starvation State Park, with glassy morning water and big-sky sunsets.
