About this map

The White River carves a winding path through this corner of the Uintah Basin, defining a landscape marked by both intricate geological formations and heavy industrial development. This 2014 survey captures the significant energy infrastructure of the region, anchored by the Wonsits-Wonsits Valley Oil Field and the Chapita Wells Gas Field. These industrial sites are interspersed with distinctive terrain features like the uniquely named Fantasy Canyon and Ship Rock.

A network of desert roads, including Fiddler Rd and S Archee Wash Rd, provides access across the high desert benches and deep draws. The area's complex drainage system is evident through numerous seasonal channels such as Coyote Wash, Sand Wash, and Antelope Draw, which converge toward the river valley. The map documents the intersection of modern resource extraction with the natural topography of Glen Bench during a period of active expansion in the Utah oil and gas industry.
