About this map

Vernal and the adjacent community of Naples serve as the primary population centers on this landscape, where residential street grids meet an extensive system of water management. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, notably the Buckskin Hills and the broad expanses of Sunshine Bench. A network of reservoirs, including Bullwinkle Reservoir, Burns Bench Reservoir, and the Herman Sadler Reservoir, highlights the critical role of irrigation and water storage in this high-desert environment.

Drainage systems like Ashley Creek and Brush Creek carve through the topography, while natural features such as Mantle Gulch and Steinaker Draw provide further geographic definition. The map documents a transition from the structured urban planning of the towns to the open, rugged ranching and agricultural lands of the surrounding benches, reflecting the dual nature of Uintah County’s development.
