2018 Map of Hamlin Well

About this map

Hamlin Valley defines this arid stretch of the Great Basin, where the high desert terrain is marked by seasonal drainage and isolated watering points. Named for the cattle-era outpost, Hamlin Well serves as the primary landmark in a landscape shaped by the transition between the Nevada-Utah state line. The topography is dominated by the northern reaches of Miller Mtn and the broad, dry expanse of Miller Wash to the northeast. Several ephemeral waterways, including Wood-McCullough Cr, Miller Cr, and Cobb Cr, descend from the surrounding highlands into the valley floor. This survey documents the area's sparse network of ranching roads and the precisely defined sections of the Public Land Survey System that organize this remote borderland.
