1970 Map of Bar X Wash

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The Stateline Gas Field and Bar X Gas Field dominate this desert landscape where the borders of Grand and Garfield Counties in Utah meet Mesa County, Colorado. The terrain is defined by the dramatic ascent of the Book Cliffs and the deep incisions of Prairie Canyon and Jim Canyon. This 1970s-era data, updated in the late 1980s, reveals a network of industrial development carved into the arid brush, featuring numerous Gas Wells, Drill Holes, and unnamed pipelines. Waterways like Bar X Wash, Bitter Creek, and Winter Camp Draw suggest the ephemeral drainage patterns typical of the region. The map also records a primitive transportation network, consisting primarily of a Jeep Trail winding through the canyons, reflecting a period of intense energy exploration in this borderland area.
