About this map

Pavant Butte dominates the northern horizon of this landscape, a prominent volcanic feature surrounded by extensive Sand Dunes and fields of Lava. To the west, the Clear Lake Waterfowl Management Area introduces a vital riparian environment, anchored by Spring Lake and its associated Headquarters and Dam. This 1970s survey captures a terrain defined by stark geological transitions and managed water resources in the eastern Great Basin.

Local industry is recorded through numerous extractive sites such as Cinder Pits, Borrow Pit, and Hellhole. The southeastern corner features the uniquely named Devils Kitchen and Devils Kitchen Reservoir, situated near the rugged expanse of The Cinders. The map provides a detailed view of the section lines and township boundaries, including the juncture of T. 19 S. and R. 7 W., essential for tracing land ownership and historical grazing or mining claims.
