2023 Map of Pine Valley Hardpan North

About this map

Pine Valley's expansive desert floor dominates this Millard County landscape, bracketed by the striking topography of the Tunnel Spring Mountains to the west and the Wah Wah Mountains to the east. This modern topographic study reveals a corner of the Great Basin defined by its seasonal hydrography, most notably the Pine Valley Hardpan, a dry lake bed that serves as the terminal point for local drainage. The map documents a sparse network of access roads, including W 14900 South St and the specialized Pine Valley Well Rd, reflecting the area's use for range management and hydrological monitoring. These features suggest an environment where water—or the historical absence of it—has dictated both the terrain's character and the limited human infrastructure etched into the valley.
