About this map

Industrial development and complex desert topography define this portion of the Uintah Basin, where the Red Wash site is situated amidst a network of natural drainages. The landscape is characterized by prominent plateaus such as Deadman Bench and Glen Bench, separated by an intricate system of washes and draws including Baser Wash and Antelope Draw. Infrastructure in the area supports regional energy and power needs, evidenced by the presence of S Deseret Power Plant Rd E and Deadman Bench Rd.

Water management is essential in this arid environment, highlighted by the location of Siddoways Reservoir in the western half of the map. Additional drainage patterns like Right Fork Walker Hollow and Kennedy Wash illustrate the erosional character of the high desert terrain. This map serves as a detailed record of the roads and industrial footprint established within the natural contours of eastern Utah.
