1968 Map of Buck Camp Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Archy Bench and East Bench dominate this high-desert landscape in Uintah County, where the economy of the late 1960s is defined by remote energy extraction. The map documents the infrastructure of the Rock House Gas Field and the Buck Canyon Gas Field, showing a network of specialized features including an Aboveground Pipeline, several Gas Wells, and a Storage Bin. The terrain is deeply dissected by drainage systems like Bitter Creek and Buck Camp Canyon, which dictate the placement of local landmarks. Remote operations are supported by isolated aviation facilities, such as the Landing Strip found in the northern portion of the quadrangle. Traditional land use is still evident at the Bitter Creek Corral, illustrating the overlap of ranching history with the modernizing industrial footprint of the basin.
