2017 Map of Pahvant Butte North

About this map

Pahvant Butte dominates the southern reaches of this Millard County landscape, rising sharply from the surrounding desert basin. This 2017 survey reveals a terrain defined by sparse water sources and distinct geological formations, characteristic of the Sevier Desert. The presence of Mud Lake Spring in the northeast and Mud Springs to the southwest suggests the critical, localized points of hydration that have historically dictated movement and land use in this arid region. The map also identifies Knobby, a localized high point that serves as a landmark for navigation across the open sagebrush and salt flats. The grid of the Public Land Survey System, including t18s r6w and t19s r7w, provides the framework for this largely undeveloped territory, where the interplay of contour lines and scattered wetlands highlights the subtle drainage patterns of the basin floor.
