About this map

Oil Springs Oil and Gas Field and the Rock House Gas Field dominate this 1960s landscape in Uintah County, showing the infrastructure of energy extraction in the Uinta Basin. The map details a network of industrial and ranching activity, including a Landing Strip, Landing Field, and several pipelines crossing the terrain. For genealogists and local historians, these surveys document specific isolated structures like Seely Cabin and livestock management points such as Olsen Corral and Cedar Corral. Drainage systems including Atchee Wash, Saddletree Draw, and Bitter Creek carve through the region, while numerous gas wells and drill holes mark the expansion of the natural gas industry during this era. The presence of jeep trails and unimproved roads highlights the remote nature of the operations near the West Fork Asphalt Wash.
