2017 Map of Pariette Draw SW

About this map

Pariette Draw and the surrounding drainage systems of the Uinta Basin define this arid landscape in Uintah and Duchesne counties. The terrain is a network of complex erosional features, including Big Wash, Castle Peak Draw, and the expansive Pariette Bench. This modern survey details a region where water management is critical for the local ranching and energy landscape, evidenced by the presence of Butte Reservoir and Billeys Reservoir to the southwest. The geography is also marked by a grid of access routes such as Castle Peak Rd and Wells Draw Rd, which cross the high desert terrain. Further east, the land opens into Eightmile Flat and Pleasant Valley, where the Pleasant Valley Wash provides a primary drainage route toward the Green River basin. The map captures the interface between these deep draws and the flat-topped benches that characterize this part of eastern Utah.
