2017 Map of Steamboat Point

About this map

Blue Valley and its surrounding desert terrain are the focal points of this 2017 survey of Wayne County. The Fremont River winds across the northern sections of the map, providing a vital water source in a landscape otherwise defined by arid features like Town Wash and Sand Wash. For genealogists and local historians, the inclusion of Giles Cem and the Blue Valley Cemetery provides specific locations for ancestral research within this corner of Utah. The topography is dominated by prominent elevations such as Steamboat Point and the Pinto Hills. A network of unpaved roads, including N Blue Valley Rd E and Giles Rd, provides the primary access to the isolated cattle-grazing lands of the Blue Valley Benches and the scattered water sources like Bert Avery Seep.
