About this map

Book Cliffs dominate the landscape of this border region where Utah and Colorado meet, revealing a terrain defined by deep drainages and industrial extraction. The map highlights the extensive network of energy production, featuring the Overlook Gas Field, Prairie Canyon Gas Field, and San Arroyo Gas Field. These industrial sites are carved into a complex system of ridges and washes, including Overlook Ridge and Wild Cow Wash, which cut through the high desert plateau.

The geography is marked by significant elevation changes, with named features such as Hells Hole Canyon, Cottonwood Canyon, and Jim Canyon providing a detailed look at the erosional patterns of the region. The map also delineates clear administrative boundaries, showing where Uintah and Grand counties in Utah meet the Colorado state line. This 2014 survey serves as a precise record of the contemporary energy landscape within the traditional canyonlands geography.
