2023 Map of Dinosaur NW

About this map

Deadmans Grave stands as a solitary landmark on the plateau of Deadman Bench, highlighting the stark nomenclature of this corner of Uintah County. The landscape is defined by a network of drainage systems including Kennedy Wash, Cow Wash, and Powder Springs Wash, which carve through the arid terrain south of Powder Ridge. This territory is primarily marked by industrial and transit corridors, where the Red Wash Rd and the Red Wash Cutoff intersect the historical path of the Old Bonanza Hwy. To the southeast, the terrain descends into the Coyote Basin near Coyote Wash, while the presence of Powder Springs suggests the critical, albeit sparse, water sources that influenced early movement through this high desert region. The map captures a moment of modern energy infrastructure layered over a geography that still retains its rugged frontier descriptors.
