About this map

The Green River carves a sweeping path through this 1965 survey of eastern Utah, where the riparian corridor meets the stark, dissected uplands of the Uintah Basin. The settlement of Jensen sits at the northern edge, serving as a gateway to the surrounding wilderness and the industrial activity marked by several Oil Well sites. To the south, the Stewart Lake Waterfowl Management Area preserves a vital wetland environment around Stewart Lake at the confluence with Ashley Creek.

Evidence of the region’s complex geography is found in the deep drainage systems of Kane Hollow and Walker Hollow, while the dramatic escarpment of The Rim provides a clear boundary between the river valley and the higher elevations of Sage Bench. This landscape shows a balance of conservation and resource extraction, with a prominent Pipeline and numerous Jeep Trails cutting through Clay Basin and beyond.
