About this map

Leland Bench and Pariette Bench dominate this arid landscape in Uintah County, illustrating the stark topography of the Uinta Basin. The drainage patterns are clearly defined by Uteland Butte Wash and the complex system of Pariette Draw and Castle Peak Draw, which funnel toward the southern border. Water management is a central feature of the area's development, evidenced by the Pariette Flood Control Reservoir and the Pariette E Dike Reservoir.

In the southeast, the Green River flows past Wild Horse Bench, marking the lowest elevations of the quadrangle. A network of unimproved routes including Leland Bench Rd and Eight Mile Flat Rd provides access across Eightmile Flat and the surrounding tablelands. The map reveals a region defined by its wide plateaus and the named buttes, such as Uteland Butte, that rise above the canyon-carved flats.
