2014 Map of Cowboy Bench

About this map

Nine Mile Cr carves a deep path through this section of the West, where the landscape is defined by the sharp transition between high plateaus and labyrinthine canyon systems. The map captures the industrial character of the modern era through the Nine Mile Gas Field, a notable energy feature situated amidst ancient geographic landmarks like The Mummy and The Alcove. This 2014 survey documents a rugged frontier marked by traditional livestock infrastructure, such as Nutters Corral, while simultaneously recording the modern road network including Cowboy Bench Rd and Cowboy Loop. The territory is divided by the Duchesne Co and Carbon Co boundary, illustrating how administrative lines bisect the natural benches and drainages of the Bad Land Cliffs.
