1968 Map of Rainbow

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Rainbow stands as a central waypoint in this Uintah County survey, marking the site of a former settlement in a landscape defined by resource extraction and high desert hydrology. The area is characterized by the expansive Oil Springs Oil and Gas Field, where several drill holes and a Gas Well are connected by a network of pipelines and jeep trails. These industrial markers contrast with prominent geologic formations like Thimble Rock and the high elevation of Atchee Ridge. Drainage patterns are dictated by the Center Fork Asphalt Wash and East Fork Asphalt Wash, which cut through the terrain alongside deep seasonal features such as Long Draw and Seep Canyon. Remote infrastructure, including a solitary Landing Strip and Kings Well, speaks to the logistical challenges of operating within this isolated stretch of eastern Utah during the late 1960s.
