2011 Map of Uteland Butte

About this map

Uteland Butte stands as a prominent topographical landmark in this arid portion of Uintah County, overlooking a landscape defined by significant water management infrastructure. The Pariette Flood Control Dam and the nearby Pariette East Dike Reservoir illustrate the 21st-century efforts to control runoff and manage water resources in this desert environment. These features are linked by a network of local transport routes, most notably Pariette Bench Rd and Leland Bench Rd, which traverse the high plateaus. In the southeast corner, the Green River cuts through the terrain, providing a stark contrast to the dry reaches of Castle Peak Draw to the west. The map captures a moment in the modern era where industrial-scale water projects intersect with the traditional cattle and transit routes of the Uinta Basin.
