1987 Map of Needle Point Spring

About this map

Burbank sits at the nexus of several vital water sources in this high-desert landscape on the border of Utah and Nevada. The map details the drainage patterns of Hamlin Valley, where ephemeral and perennial flows like Big Springs Creek and Lexington Creek converge near the settlement. The presence of Needle Point Spring and a small Cem reflect the sparse but enduring human presence in this arid region during the late twentieth century. To the northwest, the boundary of the Humboldt National Forest marks a transition in land use, while a solitary Gravel Pit and scattered wells suggest local industrial and ranching activity. The terrain is defined by dry washes such as Big Wash and the distinct topographic rise at Chokecherry, providing a clear record of the hydrologic and geologic character of the Millard County and White Pine County line.
