2020 Map of Atchison Creek

About this map

Hamlin Valley serves as the topographic centerpiece of this 2020 survey, where the drainages of Hamlin Valley Wash and Atchison Cr converge. Located along the border where Beaver and Iron Counties meet, the terrain transitions from the broad alluvial floor to the steep eastern elevations of the Indian Peak Range. The presence of Salt Cabin Spring and its namesake Salt Cabin Spring Wash in the northwest corner highlights the scattered water sources critical for life in this arid basin-and-range environment. This map illustrates the high-desert hydrologic patterns of the region, where ephemeral streams like Willow Cr emerge from the mountain slopes to feed the valley's drainage system during seasonal runoff.
