1971 Map of Pavant Butte North

About this map

Pavant Butte dominates the southern landscape of this Millard County survey, rising above a terrain characterized by extensive alkali and alluvial deposits. The map captures a unique geological and ecological crossroads where the Cinder Cone and the prominence of Knobby punctuate the vast, low-lying Mud flats and Depressions of the Sevier Desert. To the southwest, the Clear Lake Waterfowl Management Area, also marked by the acronym Clwma, highlights the importance of the region's managed wetlands and water resources like Mud Springs. A network of simple transportation, including a Jeep Trail, provides the primary means of navigating this remote part of the Great Basin, reflecting the land's primary use for wildlife conservation and geological study in the early 1970s.
