2011 Map of Rainbow

About this map

Rainbow sits at a junction of high-desert drainage systems and rugged transport routes in the Uintah Basin. The landscape is defined by the carved paths of Asphalt Wash and its tributaries, including East Fork Asphalt Wash and Center Fork Asphalt Wash, which cut through the arid terrain. Natural resources dominate the local geography, specifically at the Oil Springs Oil and Gas Field, highlighting the region's industrial ties to energy extraction. High ridges and deep canyons dictate the movement of travel along roads such as Atchee Ridge Rd and Bitter Creek Rd. Notable landmarks like Thimble Rock and East Seep Canyon serve as distinct navigational points in this remote corner of Utah. The map illustrates a contemporary view of an area where ancient geological features and modern industrial interests intersect.
