1968 Map of Asphalt Wash

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The White River carves a winding path through the arid high country of Uintah County, Utah, defining the industrial and topographical character of this late-twentieth-century landscape. This survey reveals a region deeply tied to energy extraction, with the Southman Canyon Gas Field and Rock House Gas Field dominating the central and southern portions of the quadrangle. A network of primitive Jeep Trails and scattered Gas Wells and Drill Holes punctuate the terrain between deep drainage systems like Southman Canyon and Asphalt Wash. Cultural landmarks are sparse but significant, including the Rock House located near Atchees Wash and the Uslm 8 survey monument. The map also details numerous exploratory sites, from unnamed Prospects in the southeast to the rugged intersections of the West Fork and East Fork of the local draws.
