2023 Map of Bonanza

About this map

Bonanza and nearby Little Bonanza anchor this pocket of the Uintah Basin, situated in a landscape defined by industrial and natural corridors. The presence of the Eureka Vein suggests the mining history that has long shaped this region's economic geography. The terrain is marked by significant topographical shifts, from the heights of Sand Ridge to the lower expanse of Coyote Basin. Modern transport and utility access are traced through routes like Old Bonanza Hwy, Desperado, and Chipeta Wells Rd, which cut through the arid flats and ridges. Water management in this high-desert environment is represented by the Hacking Reservoir in the northern portion of the quadrangle.
