2020 Map of Bonanza

About this map

Bonanza and Little Bonanza serve as the primary human touchpoints in this arid Uintah County landscape, where the infrastructure of industry and transport cuts through distinctive desert terrain. The presence of the Eureka Vein suggests the subterranean geological interests that have long driven the region's economy, while roads like the Old Bonanza Hwy and Chipeta Wells Rd link these remote outposts. The map reveals a topography defined by significant natural landmarks, including the curiously named Devils Playground and the expansive Sand Ridge. To the south, Wagon Hound Canyon provides a stark contrast to the northern Coyote Basin, illustrating a complex network of washes and ridges that characterize this part of the Uinta Basin during the early twenty-first century.
