Watson is a ghost town in Uintah County, at the extreme eastern edge of Utah, United States.

[2] Watson is located south of the White River along Evacuation Creek, just North of the ghost town Dragon and the Black Dragon Gilsonite mine.

The present-day center of Gilsonite mining, Bonanza, is about 20 miles (32 km) to the north of Watson.

The Town was named after Wallace G. Watson, the Civil Engineer who designed the Uintah Railroad that ran from Dragon to Watson along Evacuation Creek.

The town was made up of a rail depot, a few houses, a hotel, a post office, a school, a telephone office, and a warehouse.
