2020 Map of Uteland Butte

About this map

The Uteland Butte rises above a landscape of high desert benches and deep drainage channels in Uintah County. The Green River cuts across the southeastern corner of the map, serving as the primary hydrologic anchor for the surrounding dry plateaus. Large, flat expanses like Leland Bench, Pariette Bench, and Wild Horse Bench dominate the topography, separated by erosion-carved features such as Castle Peak Draw and the Pariette Draw. The transport network is defined by rural corridors including Eight Mile Flat Rd and Pariette Bench Rd, which navigate the open terrain of Eightmile Flat. This modern survey reveals a region shaped by its significant elevation changes and the persistent influence of the river on its arid geography.
