About this map

Ashley Valley serves as the focal point for this 2020 landscape, illustrating the modern rural-urban transition between Vernal and the adjacent community of Naples. The map details a sophisticated network of irrigation and water management essential for high-desert life, including the Bullwinkle Reservoir, Burns Bench Reservoir, and the Herman-Sadlier Reservoir. These water bodies are connected by the natural drainage of Ashley Cr as it flows south toward the larger valley floor.

Industrial and transport history is visible in the alignment of Old US Hwy 40 and the naming of topographical features like Sunshine Bench and the Buckskin Hills. The precise grid of county roads, such as Diamond Mountain Rd and Sunshine Bench Rd, reveals how the land has been partitioned for agriculture and residential expansion in Uintah County. From the depths of Mantle Gulch to the heights of Steinaker Draw, the terrain showcases the geological character typical of the northeastern Utah borderlands.
