About this map

Pahvant Butte dominates the northern horizon of this Millard County landscape, a prominent volcanic feature surrounded by the open terrain of the Sevier Desert. The western edge of the quadrangle transitions into a significant wetland and riparian zone defined by Clear Lake and Spring Lake, which contrast sharply with the volcanic geology found further east. This area serves as a critical water resource in an otherwise arid environment, linked by the unimproved path of Clear Lake Rd.

To the southeast, the topography becomes more complex near Devils Kitchen and the Devils Kitchen Reservoir. The presence of features like Hellhole and The Cinders highlights the distinct volcanic history of the Black Rock Desert. This survey provides a clear look at the sparse infrastructure of the region, where Sheep Trail Rd represents the primary corridor through the basalt flows and desert scrub.
