About this map

Pahvant Valley anchors the central landscape of this Millard County region, where the desert floor meets the rising slopes of the Fishlake National Forest. The settlement of Kanosh sits at the base of the mountains, positioned near the drainage of Kanosh Creek and Corn Creek Canyon. To the north, the smaller settlement of Hatton and the Kanosh Indian Village reveal the area's complex social geography.

Thermal and geological activity is evident across the quadrangle, notably at Hot Spring and the prominent Black Rock Volcano to the west. The reliance on water in this arid environment is documented through numerous mapped wells and specific landmarks like Frank Barney Spring and Dual Springs. Narrow canyons such as Dameron Canyon and Wind Hollow Canyon cut into the eastern highlands, while signs of local industry appear at the Feed Lot and scattered Gravel Pits.
