2017 Map of Vernal NW

About this map

Coal Mine Basin dominates the northeastern corner of this Uintah County landscape, reflecting the region's industrial ties to the earth. The terrain transitions from the high elevations of Halfway Hollow down toward the drainage of Twelvemile Wash in the south. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey details a high-desert environment defined by sparse but vital water sources, such as Cottonwood Spring and the C C C Tank. The Public Land Survey System grid is clearly marked across the landscape, including township boundaries like t4s r20e and t5s r20e. Accessibility is noted along high ridges via the Little Mountain Rim Rd, which follows the natural contours of the plateau to provide passage through this drainage-heavy territory.
