2017 Map of Danish Flat

About this map

Danish Flat and the surrounding desert corridor of eastern Utah are defined by industrial development and water management in this 2017 survey. The landscape is marked by the presence of the Agate Oil Field and Agate Siding, illustrating the region's connection to petroleum extraction and rail transport. At the southern edge, the small settlement of Grand Valley and the locality of Agate anchor the map, while terrain features like Cisco Mesa overlook the dry drainage basins of Cisco Wash and Cottonwood Wash. Human engineering is visible through a network of specialized roads and water infrastructure, including Broadhead Well, Jims Well, and the precisely named Straight Shot road. This map offers a detailed view of the infrastructure supporting resource extraction and transit in Grand County's desert flats.
