2011 Map of Bar X Wash

About this map

Bar X Gas Field and the Stateline Gas Field anchor this 2011 survey of the high desert landscape along the Colorado-Utah border. The terrain is defined by the massive southern face of the Book Cliffs, which overlook a network of seasonal watercourses and mesas. Natural drainage patterns are clearly visible, following the paths of Bar X Wash, Bitter Creek, and McDonald Creek as they cut through the arid floor. The map highlights the intersection of industrial energy extraction and the natural topography of Ray Mesa and Prairie Canyon. This document provides a clear view of the modern infrastructure required for gas production in a remote western environment, showing the access roads that weave between deep drainages like Winter Camp Draw and San Arroyo Wash.
