2011 Map of Archy Bench

About this map

Bitter Creek Gas Field occupies the high plateau of this Uintah County landscape, reflecting the modern industrial footprint on Utah's eastern basins. The geography is defined by broad, flat uplands like Archy Bench and East Bench, which are dissected by steep drainage systems. The White River winds through the northern portion of the quadrangle, while Bitter Creek and Sand Wash carve distinct paths through the arid terrain. Infrastructure is sparse, primarily consisting of service routes like Bitter Creek Rd and E Bench Rd, which facilitate the region's energy extraction. This survey illustrates the contrast between the natural erosional features of the Uintah Basin and the systematic development of its subterranean resources in the early 21st century.
