1968 Map of Big Pack Mtn. NE

About this map

The Bitter Creek Gas Field dominates this eastern Utah landscape in Uintah County, illustrating the mid-century industrial expansion into the High Desert. The terrain is defined by a dense network of arid drainages, most notably Cottonwood Wash and Sand Wash, which carve through the high plateaus. This 1968 survey details the infrastructure of energy extraction, showing a complex system of an Aboveground Pipeline and buried Pipeline routes connecting various Gas Wells and a Pumping Station. These industrial features are accessed by a network of unimproved roads and a Jeep Trail, providing a clear look at how the region was navigated before more modern infrastructure was established. For researchers and historians, the map's precise notation of a Drill Hole and specific section lines offers a primary record of land use and mineral exploration during a period of significant growth in the Uintah Basin.
