About this map

The state line between Nevada and Utah bisects this landscape, where the high desert terrain of Hamlin Valley meets the foothills of the Humboldt National Forest. Water sources are the defining features of this arid environment, evidenced by the clustered drainage patterns of Lexington Cr, Lake Cr, and Chokecherry Cr. The presence of Lexington Spring and Needle Point Spring indicates the critical importance of reliable water for livestock or early settlers in the eastern Great Basin.

Remote infrastructure consists primarily of forest development roads and local routes like Burbank Rd, which provides access to the Burbank Cem. The geographic prominence of Needle Point Mtn stands as a landmark over Antelope Valley Wash, illustrating the transition from forested mountain slopes to the expansive valley floor. This map preserves the 21st-century configuration of these long-established jurisdictional boundaries and topographic landmarks.
