2020 Map of Red Wash SE

About this map

Kennedy Wash and Coyote Wash cut through this arid corner of Uintah County, defining the drainage patterns in a landscape where water is the primary architect. The terrain is marked by the presence of Hatch Reservoir, a significant water catchment in an otherwise dry basin. While the map is largely characterized by natural topographic contours, the alignment of S Deseret Power Plant Rd E indicates the reach of industrial infrastructure into this remote section of the state. This 2020 update from the U.S. Geological Survey shows a land use pattern dominated by resource management and desert hydrology, with the Public Land Survey System grid providing the only human-imposed structure across the desert floor.
