2012 Map of Needle Point Spring

About this map

Hamlin Valley defines this high-desert landscape on the Utah-Nevada border, where water sources dictate the placement of ranching outposts. This 2012 survey documents a network of seasonal drainages and springs, including the namesake Needle Point Spring and Lexington Spring. The settlement of Burbank serves as the primary hub, supported by family operations such as Dearden Ranch, Davies Ranch, and Young Ranch. A sense of local history is grounded at the Burbank Cemetery, situated near the confluence of local washes. The transport network relies on backroads like Black Canyon Rd and various Forest Service routes like NFD 450 Rd, tracing the paths of Lexington Creek and Lake Creek as they flow through the arid basins.
