1964 Map of Vernal NW

About this map

Coal Mine Basin dominates the northeastern corner of this high-desert landscape in Uintah County, providing a clear view of the region's mid-century industrial and grazing infrastructure. The topography is defined by the drainage systems of Twelvemile Wash and Halfway Hollow, where intermittent water sources like Cottonwood Spring and Spring were essential for local operations. A Military Reservation Boundary cuts across the northern terrain, signaling federal land use patterns common in this part of Utah during the mid-1960s. Evidence of resource extraction is visible through multiple Mines and a Quarry, while the presence of a Pipeline and the CCC Tank indicates the development of water and energy transport systems across the arid basins. These features, connected by a network of Jeep Trails, reflect a landscape utilized for its raw materials and managed for livestock in the years following the Second World War.
