2010 Map of The Sink

About this map

Pahvant Valley defines the landscape of this Millard County interior, characterized by a highly organized grid of rural routes. The drainage patterns of Chalk Creek and Pioneer Wash converge toward a significant geographical depression known simply as The Sink. This terminal point for local water flow highlights the arid, basin-like nature of the region. To the east, the terrain rises sharply toward Bald Mountain and West Mountain, providing a stark topographic contrast to the flat valley floor. The map documents a sparsely settled agricultural or grazing landscape, where the human presence is recorded primarily through an extensive network of secondary roads such as W 4700 North St and N 6000 W, which segment the valley into large, functional blocks typical of modern Great Basin land management.
