2014 Map of Pinto

About this map

Pinto and the surrounding high desert of Washington County are documented in this 2014 survey, highlighting a landscape defined by pioneer-era history and complex terrain. The map traces the historic Spanish Trl and the path from Mountain Meadows to New Harmon, providing critical spatial context for the region's early transit corridors. Genealogists will find the exact locations of the Pinto Cem and the more remote Hamblin Cem near Hamblin Spring, while the Death Valley Party Monument marks a specific point of western migration history. The drainage of Pinto Cr and numerous water sources like Platt Spring and Oak Spring reveal the precarious water-dependent nature of settlement in this part of the Dixie National Forest. From the depths of Wheat Grass Canyon to the heights of Cove Mtn, the sheet provides a meticulous record of the varied topography north of the Mountain Meadow site.
