About this map

Industrial extraction and water management define this portion of Valley County, where several numbered mines mark the presence of a specialized local economy. The landscape is dotted with bentonite operations, including Bentonite Number 3 Mine and Bentonite Number 4 Mine, reflecting the area's geological importance. This network of industry is supported by a series of engineered water catchments and dams along the various creek forks.

Water control is central to the terrain, with features like Hamms Reservoir, Hurricane Reservoir, and Arrambide Reservoir situated near their respective dams. The intricate drainage system of the North Fork Little Beaver Creek and North Fork Lone Tree Creek highlights the logistical efforts to manage water in this semi-arid region. Access through the territory is maintained via functional routes such as Bentonite Rd and the Triple-Cross Access Rd, which connect these remote resource sites.
