1968 Map of Archy Bench SE

About this map

Rock House Gas Field and the Oil Springs Oil and Gas Field dominate this industrial landscape in eastern Utah, as mapped in the late 1960s and updated in the 1980s. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of energy infrastructure, including numerous Gas Wells, Oil Wells, and a connecting Pipeline system. These industrial features are set against a backdrop of complex drainage systems such as the West Fork Asphalt Wash and Bitter Creek. Scattered evidence of local ranching and early habitation appears in the form of the Seely Cabin, Olsen Corral, and Cedar Corral, providing a glimpse into the human presence amidst the energy-rich badlands of Archy Bench. The presence of a Landing Field and several Storage Bins further highlights the logistical requirements of this remote resource extraction zone during the mid-to-late 20th century.
