2011 Map of Vernal SE

About this map

The Green River carves a dramatic path through this Uintah County landscape, forming distinct riverine features such as The Stirrup and the wide arc of Horseshoe Bend. This area south of Vernal is characterized by a mix of ranching infrastructure and scientific research, notably home to the Uinta Basin Seismological Observatory. The local economy of the early 21st century is reflected in the managed lands of McCoy Flat and various livestock enclosures like the McCoy Flat Corral and Youngs Cow Corral. Water management is central to the valley's development, evidenced by the Highline Canal and the lush riparian zone at Hamacker Bottoms. Navigating the varied terrain is possible through a network of local routes including McCoy Flat Rd and Baeser Rd, which connect the upland McCoy Knolls to the river's edge at Collier Hole.
