2023 Map of Pariette Draw SW

About this map

Pleasant Valley and the vast Pariette Bench define this arid landscape along the boundary of Duchesne and Uintah counties. The area is dominated by an intricate network of seasonal drainages, including Pariette Draw and the S Fork Pariette Draw, which carve through the high desert terrain. Water management is central to the area's geography, evidenced by isolated features like Butte Reservoir, Billeys Reservoir, and Odekirk Spring. These landmarks, along with Big Wash and Castle Peak Draw, reveal how the region’s topography dictates land use and access. A network of unpaved routes, such as Castle Peak Rd and N Pariette Bench Rd, provides the primary infrastructure for traversing these flats and washes, reflecting a landscape primarily shaped by natural contours rather than dense settlement.
