2023 Map of Pahvant Butte North

About this map

Pahvant Butte dominates the southern landscape of this Millard County quadrant, its distinct volcanic profile rising sharply from the surrounding desert floor. This modern survey illustrates a topography defined by sparse water sources and expansive alkali flats, characteristic of the Sevier Desert. The hydrological patterns of the region are anchored by Mud Lake Spring in the northeast and Mud Springs in the southwest, vital points of interest for researchers tracking historical water availability in this arid environment. The map also identifies Knobby, a localized high point that provides a navigational reference amidst the low-lying basin terrain. This document offers a precise record of the current state of these desert landforms and their associated wetlands, reflecting the modern intersection of public land management and natural hydrography.
