About this map

Harley Dome Gas Field defines the industrial character of this desert landscape in eastern Grand County, where numerous Drill Holes are scattered across the terrain. The small settlement of Harley Dome serves as a focal point near the eastern edge of the quadrangle, situated along a transportation corridor marked by a significant Pipeline and the remnants of an Old Railroad Grade.

The physical geography is shaped by intricate drainage systems, including Westwater Creek, Bryson Wash, and Sulphur Creek, which carve through the arid plateau. Cultural traces of land use are evident in several Corrals, Gravel Pits, and a Jeep Trail winding through the western hills. This 1970s record, updated with 1980s aerial data, provides a detailed look at the resource extraction and transit infrastructure that sustained this remote region.
