2014 Map of Vernal NW

About this map

Coal Mine Basin and the adjacent northern drainage of Halfway Hollow dominate this portion of the Uintah Basin, revealing a landscape defined by industrial history and seasonal water management. The terrain is crisscrossed by remote access routes like Coal Mine Basin Rd and Dave Murray Rd, which navigate the elevation changes north of W Highway 121. Evidence of historical infrastructure appears at the C C C Tank, likely a remnant of mid-century conservation work in the high desert. Rare water sources such as Cottonwood Spring and the southern drainage of Twelvemile Wash provide the only breaks in the arid topography, serving as critical landmarks for local land use and resource extraction in this corner of the state.
