About this map

The settlement of Rainbow sits amidst a complex network of canyons and drainage systems in Uintah County, characteristic of the northeastern Utah desert. This 2017 survey shows the high-elevation terrain punctuated by landmarks such as Thimble Rock and carved by watercourses like Evacuation Cr and the East Fork Asphalt Wash. The landscape is a study in verticality, where prominent features like Park Canyon and East Seep Canyon dictate the placement of local thoroughfares.

Industrial and rural access is evidenced by several named tracks, including the Atchee Ridge Rd, Country Boy Rd, and Pot Belly Rd. These routes connect remote areas like Oil Spring to the broader region, reflecting the ongoing navigation of this remote topography for resource management and local transit. The map provides a precise layout of the Public Land Survey System boundaries, including t11s r24e and t12s r25e, which are essential for property and mineral rights research in the Uinta Basin.
