1964 Map of Vernal SE

About this map

The Green River carves a dramatic path through the southern portion of this landscape, forming the massive loop known as Horseshoe Bend and the distinctively oxbow-shaped The Stirrup. These riparian flats, including Hamacker Bottoms, provide a sharp contrast to the arid, high-altitude terrain dominated by Asphalt Ridge in the northeast. The geography here is defined by early energy exploration and livestock management, evidenced by the Uinta Basin Seismological Observatory and scattered ranching infrastructure like McCoy Flat Corral.
