2011 Map of Asphalt Wash

About this map

The White River meanders through this portion of Uintah County, cutting a prominent path across a landscape defined by industrial energy extraction and complex drainage systems. During this early 21st-century period, the area is anchored by the Southman Canyon Gas Field and the Rock House Gas Field, illustrating the intensive development of natural resources in the Uinta Basin. The terrain is deeply etched by numerous seasonal watercourses, most notably Asphalt Wash and Atchees Wash, which feed into the primary river valley. Landforms such as Hanging Rock Hollow and the branching network of Saddletree Draw highlight the intricate erosional patterns of the high desert. This map captures a specific stage of gas field infrastructure, showing how roads and facilities interface with the natural topography of the river's forks and canyons.
