Map of Utah showing geothermal resources.

Most of the known geothermal resources in Utah occur along the transition from the Colorado Plateau to the Basin and Range Province. Resources in current use include direct-use and power generating geothermal resources. The green regions show well-characterized areas where new resources can be developed. The pink region outlines a part of the Great Basin that has potential prospects defined by surface fault architecture. The black dots are wells that have elevated heat flow measurements, indicating a potential for geothermal resource. The Black Rock Desert has the most attractive potential for future development.
