1972 Map of Hamlin Well

About this map

Miller Mountain stands as a prominent landmark overlooking the high desert expanse of Hamlin Valley, where the Nevada and Utah borders meet. This 1972 field-checked survey captures a remote ranching landscape defined by scattered water sources and primitive transportation routes. At the heart of the valley, Hamlin Well and an adjacent Corral mark a vital outpost for local livestock operations, situated near the intersection of several unnamed seasonal drainages. The complex drainage network of the Great Basin is clearly etched across the terrain, from the broad Hamlin Valley Wash to smaller tributaries like Cobb Creek and Wood-McCullough Creek. The presence of numerous Jeep Trails cutting through the sagebrush and mountain slopes indicates the area's continued reliance on rugged, unpaved access for land management and mineral exploration during the early 1970s.
