About this map

The White River carves a deep path through the high desert of Uintah County, creating a complex drainage network dominated by named draws and washes. This 2020 survey documents the intersection of natural hydrology and industrial access in a landscape defined by the Asphalt Wash and Atchees Wash systems. The terrain is marked by distinctive local landmarks such as Hanging Rock Hollow and the evocatively named Marble Mansion, reflecting the region's unique geography and human footprint.

Transportation routes like Atchee Wash Rd and Seven Sisters provide access through the canyons, connecting remote points such as Southam Cyn and the various branches of Saddletree Draw. The detailed hydrography, including the West Fork Asphalt Wash and Center Fork Asphalt Wash, illustrates how water has shaped this part of the Uinta Basin, providing a clear record of the area's physical characteristics in the early 21st century.
