2014 Map of Sixmile Point

About this map

Pahvant Valley dominates this 2014 survey of the eastern Great Basin, where the stark transition from the arid valley floor to the foothills of the Fishlake National Forest is clearly delineated. The map highlights a landscape shaped by geothermal activity and seasonal hydrology, notably featuring Hot Springs in the northeast and the drainage of Dry Wash. Prominent topographic markers such as Hole-in-the-Rock and Beaver Ridge provide essential orientation in an area where the human footprint is primarily defined by the grid of the Public Land Survey System and sparse infrastructure like Sandhills Rd. Topographic points along the mountain interface, including Sixmile Point, Eightmile Point, and Telegraph Point, trace the historic path of travel and surveying along the valley edge.
