1972 Map of Eightmile Spring

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Hamlin Valley serves as a central corridor through this arid high-desert landscape in Iron County, where water sources dictated the patterns of movement and life in the early 1970s. The terrain is defined by the Paradise Mountains and Modena Mountains to the west, cut by deep drainages like Sawmill Canyon and Paradise Canyon. These seasonal watercourses, including Modena Draw and Hamlin Valley Wash, channel runoff from the surrounding peaks toward the valley floor. Evidence of livestock management and early surveying is seen in features like Forces Reservoir and scattered water points. The map meticulously records essential springs that were vital for survival and industry in this remote part of Utah, including Eightmile Spring, Roberts Spring, and Peaks Spring, often found at the mouths of canyons like Nelson Canyon and Crook Canyon.
