2023 Map of Bar X Wash

About this map

The Book Cliffs dominate the northern horizon of this landscape where the high desert of eastern Utah meets western Colorado. This modern survey illustrates a remote corner of Grand Valley defined by its deep arroyos and energy infrastructure. The drainage system of Bar X Wash, Bitter Creek, and Wild Cow Wash carves through the terrain, while the Stateline road and various industrial routes like Mountain Fuel and Bar X Gas Field trace the development of the region's natural resources. Local transit is marked by historical paths such as the Book Cliff Rd and the Macintyre Cutoff, which provide access through the complex topography south of Prairie Canyon. The map reveals the intricate network of service roads and single-track trails that weave through the public and private lands of the intermountain west.
