2014 Map of Archy Bench

About this map

Bitter Creek Gas Field and the surrounding high desert plateaus of Uintah County define this 2014 survey. The landscape is characterized by its energy infrastructure and the deep incisions of the White River and Bitter Cr, which carve through the high elevations of Archy Bench and East Bench. These topographic features illustrate the stark, functional geography of northeastern Utah's oil and gas country. Primitive access routes like Archy Bench Rd, Love Rd, and the road to the Island Gas Fld serve the industrial activity scattered across the various sections of Township 10 South. The map documents a modern era of resource extraction where named landmarks are often associated with the petroleum industry or the major drainage systems like Sand Wash, highlighting the intersection of industrial development and the natural drainages of the Uinta Basin.
