About this map

Ashley Valley and the winding course of the Green River define this corner of Uintah County, Utah. The landscape is marked by the industrial footprints of the mid-1960s, specifically an active Oil Field and numerous exploratory Drill Holes that signal the region's energy development. Along the northern edge, Ashley Creek feeds into the valley near a Gaging Station and substation, while the rugged southern terrain is carved by complex drainages like Rasmussen Hollow and Walker Hollow.

The river itself creates a striking Horseshoe Bend in the southwest, a natural landmark for those tracing the historical hydrology of the Uinta Basin. Notable infrastructure from this era includes a flume and a network of jeep trails providing access to the higher elevations of Asphalt Ridge. This survey, a collaboration between the U.S. Geological Survey and the Bureau of Reclamation, preserves the detailed topographical and industrial state of the land before modern changes occurred.
