2020 Map of The Sink

About this map

Pahvant Valley serves as the central focal point of this arid Millard County landscape, where the flat basin floor meets the rising elevations of Bald Mtn and West Mtn. The region is defined by its distinct volcanic and hydrological signatures, including the volcanic remains known as The Cinders and the stark geological feature of Devils Kitchen. Water management is critical in this environment, evidenced by the Central Utah Canal and ephemeral drainage systems like Chalk Cr and Pioneer Wash. This survey details a rigorous grid of section lines and rural roads such as W 2600 North St, which navigate the low-lying catchment area of The Sink. The map illustrates a high-desert terrain where seasonal water flow and ancient geologic activity dictate the few human pathways through the valley.
