2014 Map of Walsh Knolls

About this map

The White River winds through this arid section of the High Uintahs along the Utah-Colorado border, creating a distinct riparian corridor against the surrounding high desert. The landscape is defined by deep incisions like Cowboy Canyon and Gilsonite Draw, the latter reflecting the region's unique hydrocarbon mining history. Transportation in this area relies on rugged routes such as Stanton Rd and E Eureka Vein Rd, which provide access to high-elevation features like the Walsh Knolls and the Hacking Reservoir to the northwest. In the southern reach of the survey, the terrain levels out significantly at Little Dicks Bottom, a flat alongside the river. This 2014 U.S. Geological Survey provides a detailed look at the complex drainage systems where Dripping Rock Cr and Cottonwood Cr meet the river, marking a remote boundary between Uintah and Rio Blanco counties.
