About this map

Hamlin Valley defines this high-desert basin in western Utah, where a sparse network of ranching infrastructure marks the landscape. Near the southern edge of the valley, the Cheney Ranch stands as a primary point of human habitation, supported by vital water sources like Butcher Spring Trough and various wells. The drainage pattern is dominated by the Hamlin Valley Wash, which collects intermittent flows from Chokecherry Creek and Pine Creek. The presence of several corrals and a Water Tank underscores the area's utility as rangeland during the early 1970s. Navigation across the valley floor and rising terrain relied heavily on a network of rugged Jeep Trails, reflecting the isolation and functional land use of this Iron County corridor before modern development shifted rural access.
