1971 Map of Pahvant Butte North

About this map

Pahvant Butte rises as a dominant geological feature above the low-lying basins of Millard County in the early 1970s. This survey records a desert landscape defined by specialized land management and natural drainage patterns, notably the Mud Depression and the perennial Mud Springs. The southern portion of the sheet is largely occupied by the Clear Lake Waterfowl Management Area, a critical habitat indicated here by its formal boundaries and management labels. Evidence of light industrial use appears at the Cinder Pit near the southern base of the butte, while a primitive transportation network is represented by a single Jeep Trail cutting across the northern mud flats. The terrain is further characterized by small, distinct elevations like Knobby, punctuating an otherwise expansive sink and alkali-flat environment.
