2017 Map of Sixmile Point

About this map

Pahvant Valley dominates this 2017 survey, revealing a landscape of high-desert basins and distinct geological markers. The eastern edge of the quadrangle rises toward the Fishlake National Forest, where topographic features like Sixmile Point and Eightmile Point transition from the valley floor. To the north, the geography is punctuated by the appropriately named Hole-in-the-Rock and the elevated Beaver Ridge. Modern infrastructure, including a corridor for Interstate 15 and local routes like Sandhill Rd, cuts through the arid terrain, linking the valley's open reaches. In the northeast corner, Hot Springs indicates geothermal activity amidst the surrounding Clay Flat and Dry Wash, illustrating the hydrologic diversity of this Millard County landscape.
