About this map

Industrial development and energy extraction dominate the landscape of Uintah County in this mid-century record. The Red Wash Oil and Gas Field and the Walker Hollow Oil and Gas Field are the primary features, characterized by a dense network of wells, power lines, and both buried and aboveground pipelines. The small settlement of Red Wash serves as the hub for these operations, situated near the transition between the rugged topography and the flatter expanses of Deadman Bench.

Hydrological features are sparse but critical in this arid terrain, including the Siddoways Reservoir and drainage systems like Kennedy Wash and Antelope Draw. Infrastructure supporting the fields is clearly marked, from a Compressor Sta to an electrical Substation, illustrating the complex logistical web required to manage the East White River Gas Field and its surrounding resources during a period of significant regional production.
