About this map

Hamlin Valley defines this arid landscape along the Nevada and Utah border, where seasonal drainages like Hyde Wash and Valley Wash cut through the desert floor. In the early 1970s, this area remained sparsely developed, centered on localized water sources and cattle infrastructure such as Tait Well and a Corral. The terrain is punctuated by Miller Mountain in the south, overlooking the confluence of several washes.

Evidence of historical transit is found at Miller Crossing, where routes intersect with Hamlin Wash. The map documents a complex set of political boundaries where Lincoln Co meets Millard and Beaver counties, marked by an Indefinite Boundary. A rugged Jeep Trail provides the primary access through the eastern foothills, illustrating the remote character of this Great Basin territory during the era of photogrammetric mapping.
