2014 Map of Pine Valley Hardpan South

About this map

Pine Valley Hardpan dominates the northern landscape of this Great Basin terrain, illustrating the distinct geological character of a dry lake bed within the broader Pine Valley. The map highlights a remote ranching infrastructure where water management is critical, evidenced by several strategically placed catchments including Desert Ranch Reservoir, Electric Fence Reservoir, and Cow Track Reservoir. These features, alongside the sparse grid of the Public Land Survey System, reflect the practical adaptations required for survival and industry in this arid environment. The transition between Millard and Beaver counties is clearly marked, intersecting with a limited road network. State route Ut-21 cuts diagonally across the southern sections, serving as the primary corridor through the valley, while secondary routes like Pine Valley Rd and W 17000 S St provide access to the surrounding flats.
