2011 Map of Ouray SE

About this map

The White River meanders through this arid landscape in Uintah County, creating a serpentine corridor of life amidst the dry uplands of eastern Utah. The terrain is defined by distinct geologic markers such as the prominent rise of Mollys Nipple and the drainage systems of Cottonwood Wash and Antelope Draw. Infrastructure in this part of the Uinta Basin consists primarily of long-established desert routes, including Watson Rd and Wyasket Bottom Rd, which trace the contours of the river valley. The map documents a sparsely populated but geographically complex region where the intersection of water and weather has carved out a rugged system of benches and draws typical of the Colorado Plateau.
