Yes, this really is the name of the land formation in the middle ground! A bench is a narrow, level land formation interupting a declivity - meaning it has steap slopes both above and beneath. This is a common term in Utah.
This painting was painted from a plein air field study done from the rest area off I-70 on the eastern edge of the San Rafael Swell (the higher formations in the painting are the back side of the San Rafael Reef).
