About this map

Price serves as the central hub for the surrounding coal and gas country, anchored by the Carbon County Court House and Utah State University Eastern. The landscape is a complex network of industrial and agricultural irrigation, where the Price River is flanked by an extensive canal system including the Price Canal, Carbon Canal, and Pinnacle Canal. These waterways define the narrow corridors of greenery that cut through the desert terrain, supporting settlements like Carbonville and Wellington.

Energy extraction is a primary driver of the local economy, evidenced by the expansive Drunkards Wash Gas Field and numerous labels for a Gas Field and Gas Well Rd. Transportation history is preserved through the route of the Utah Ry and the Old R R Way, which trace the movement of resources through the valley. Local genealogy is well-documented with four distinct burial grounds, including the Whitmore Cem and Cliffview Cem, marking the heritage of families who settled this high-desert region.
