2010 Map of Steamboat Mountain SW

About this map

Hamlin Valley defines the character of this corner of Iron County, where the high desert terrain is marked by seasonal drainages and a sparse network of ranching and mining roads. The primary north-south artery, Hamlin Valley Rd, connects isolated sites like Chaney Ranch to the surrounding wilderness. The landscape is carved by the intermittent flow of Hamlin Valley Wash, while smaller water features such as Chokecherry Creek and Butcher Spring Trough indicate the vital importance of water management in this arid environment. The road names themselves, including Arrowhead Mine Rd and State Line Rd, hint at the area's historical industries and its position along the boundary between Utah and Nevada. This map provides a clear look at the infrastructure of the Great Basin just after the first decade of the 2000s.
