2011 Map of Sixmile Point

About this map

Sixmile Point and Eightmile Point anchor this eastern portion of the Pahvant Valley, where the desert terrain is defined by low-lying drainages and geological markers. The landscape is primarily open and rural, intersected by a straight grid of utilitarian roads including W 5800 S St and S 8100 West St. Natural features like Hot Springs in the northeast corner and the seasonal Dry Wash suggest the hydrological character of the basin. Higher ground is noted at Telegraph Point and the curiously named Hole-in-the-Rock, landmarks that likely served as points of orientation for travelers moving through Millard County. The presence of Sandhill Rd and several unnamed structures throughout the valley reflects a sparse but established pattern of land use centered on the valley floor.
