1968 Map of Dinosaur NW

About this map

Energy extraction defines the high desert landscape of Uintah County in the late 1960s, as evidenced by the dense concentration of infrastructure across the Walker Hollow Oil and Gas Field and the Red Wash Oil and Gas Field. This 1968 field-checked record illustrates the systematic industrialization of the Deadman Bench, where dozens of individual Oil Wells and Gas Wells are interconnected by a network of pipelines and unimproved roads. A singular landmark, Deadmans Grave, stands out as a point of local historical interest amidst the modern petroleum works. The terrain is marked by seasonal drainages such as Powder Springs Wash and Kennedy Wash, which cut through the ridges toward the Coyote Basin. The mapping of the Powder Springs Gas Field and Coyote Basin Field further highlights the region's total immersion in the mid-century western energy boom.
