About this map

Monument Butte Oil Field anchors the central landscape of this Duchesne County region, illustrating the industrial footprint of energy extraction in the Uintah Basin. The terrain is defined by a complex network of arid ridges and depressions, including Wells Draw and the prominent Pariette Bench. This 2014 survey reveals an extensive system of utility and access roads such as Pariette Bench Rd and Castle Peak Cutoff Rd that crisscross the high desert to service the scattered well pads.

Water management is central to the area's geography, evidenced by the Upper Pleasant Valley Canal and Lower Pleasant Valley Canal in the north, which divert water through Pleasant Valley. To the southeast, Snyder Reservoir and Snyder Spring provide critical water points in an otherwise dry environment. The presence of Castle Peak and the winding Castle Peak Draw further emphasize the stark topographical shifts that characterize this part of the Uintah and Ouray Reservation area.
