About this map

Industrial development and energy extraction define this 1968 landscape in Uintah County, where the Buck Canyon Gas Field and Rock House Gas Field sprawl across the high desert terrain. The map documents a technical environment of production, featuring an Aboveground Pipeline, multiple Gas Wells, and remote Drill Holes scattered among the deep ravines.

Topographically, the area is characterized by the broad, flat expanses of East Bench and Archy Bench overlooking the winding path of Bitter Creek. Evidence of land use is visible in isolated ranching and utility features, including a Bitter Creek Corral, a Storage Bin, and two separate Landing Strips that likely served the mineral crews and local operators navigating this rugged section of eastern Utah.
