2012 Map of Hamlin Well

About this map

Hamlin Well serves as the central landmark in this high-desert basin near the border of Nevada and Utah. The landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of seasonal watercourses, including Wood-McCullough Creek in the northwest and the convergence of Miller Creek and Cobb Creek toward the south. To the north, the terrain rises toward the slopes of Miller Mountain, providing a stark contrast to the flatter alluvial plains where the well is situated. This 2012 survey illustrates the isolated nature of the region, where survival and settlement are dictated by the sparse water sources and topographic barriers of the Great Basin range-and-valley system.
