About this map

Red Fleet Reservoir dominates this high-desert landscape in Uintah County, managed by the U.S. Geological Survey in coordination with local agencies. The terrain is defined by deep incisions and drainage patterns, notably Big Brush Gorge and Steinaker Draw, while human industry is evident at the Stauffer Chemical Tailings Pond N near the northwestern corner. The map traces the route of Us-191, which passes through the Drive Through the Ages Geological Area, highlighting the region's significant geological exposures.

Water management and transportation infrastructure are critical features of this arid environment. The Redfleet Aqueduct moves water through the hills south of the reservoir, while ranching and resource access are supported by a network of primitive routes such as Donkey Flat Rd and John Evans Rd. From the open expanses of Donkey Flat to the confined walls of Buckhorn Canyon, the map illustrates a landscape utilized for recreation, industrial processing, and geological study.
