2023 Map of Wellington

About this map

The Price River and its accompanying irrigation systems, such as the Wellington Canal, form the agricultural and industrial backbone of this Carbon County landscape. The city of Wellington sits at the junction of the Price River and Soldier Creek, serving as a central hub for the surrounding high-desert plateaus and benches. This area is defined by a series of prominent topographic features including McNulty Bench and Jack Rabbit Flats, which rise above the river valley. Significant industrial infrastructure is evident near the river, notably the U S Steel Corp Storage Reservoir, reflecting the region's connection to larger industrial operations. Local heritage and community landmarks are anchored by the Wellington City Cem and the Carbon County Regional Airport/Buck Davis Field, while the smaller settlement of Castle Valley lies just to the west of the main city limits.
