About this map

Pahvant Butte dominates the northern skyline of this desert landscape in Millard County, standing as a prominent volcanic landmark amidst the surrounding basin. To the west, the presence of Clear Lake and Spring Lake indicates a significant wetland environment, rare for this arid region, providing a focal point for local hydrology. These water features, alongside Clearlake Rd, suggest a geography shaped by both natural spring activity and essential transport routes through the Sevier Desert.

Evidence of the area's volcanic history is found in the southeast at The Cinders, while the evocative names of Hellhole and Devils Kitchen describe the broken, heat-scoured terrain near the Devils Kitchen Reservoir. This survey captures the intersection of desert water management and distinctive geological formations, providing a clear view of the township and range divisions across this section of Utah's Great Basin.
