About this map

Industrial activity and topographical extremes define this landscape along the border of Utah and Wyoming. Clay Basin is punctuated by numerous gas wells and the concentrated Clay Basin Camp, illustrating the mid-century energy development in this corner of Daggett County. To the south, the terrain descends from the high ridges of Home Mountain and Goslin Mtn into the broad valley of Browns Park, where the Green River carves a sweeping arc.

Remote landforms such as Two Horse Butte and Band Box Butte 7351 stand as prominent landmarks within the Ashley National Forest. The map also records early mining interests through various Mine and Prospects labels, particularly around Jesse Ewing Canyon. This 1952 survey provides a detailed look at the infrastructure required for extraction in a region otherwise dominated by the massive peaks of the Uinta Mountains and the Tepee Mountains.
