About this map

The White River carves a winding path through this corner of Uintah County, creating a complex drainage network that defines the local topography. This 2023 survey illustrates a landscape of deeply etched canyons and draws, most notably the eponymous Asphalt Wash and its various branches, including the Center Fork and West Fork. The terrain is characterized by distinctive named landmarks such as Seven Sisters and Marble Mansion, which likely reflect the unique geological formations of the Uinta Basin.

Industrial and access patterns are marked by a series of service roads and numbered extraction or survey points, like Atchee Wash Rd and Saddle Tree Draw Rd. These routes provide access to the remote interior, crossing through Hanging Rock Hollow and past the steep walls of Southam Cyn. The map documents a contemporary view of this resource-rich region, balancing natural hydrology with the infrastructure required to navigate its intricate gullies and washes.
