2020 Map of Walsh Knolls

About this map

The White River carves a winding path through this high desert borderland where eastern Utah meets western Colorado. The terrain is characterized by a network of drainage features and named topographic points such as Walsh Knolls and Coyote Basin, reflecting the complex erosion of the Uinta Basin. A notable landing along the river, Little Dicks Bottom, sits just west of the state line, while Gilsonite Draw suggests the region's geological history of unique hydrocarbon deposits. Water management in this arid environment is evidenced by the presence of Hacking Reservoir in the northwest, serving the local ranching or industrial needs of the county. The map clearly delineates the administrative boundary between Uintah County and Rio Blanco County, following the section lines across a landscape otherwise dominated by natural features like Dripping Rock Cr and Cowboy Canyon.
