About this map

Buck Canyon Gas Field marks the center of industrial activity in this high-desert portion of Uintah County, where the landscape is defined by deep drainages and utility corridors. The map documents a complex system of watercourses, including the convergence of West Fork Cottonwood Wash and East Fork Cottonwood Wash as they transition into the main Cottonwood Wash. These natural features dictate the path of infrastructure, such as the prominent Seep Ridge Rd that snakes along the high ground between canyons. To the west, the course of Willow Creek provides a lower-elevation route followed by Willow Creek Rd, passing by Sulphur Spring. The cartography illustrates a modern era of resource extraction and rural transport, where named features like Broome Canyon and Agency Draw provide the only landmarks in an otherwise sparse, utilitarian environment.
