1962 Map of The Sink

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Pavant Valley serves as a basin of significant water management in this arid Millard County landscape, defined by a concentration of flowing wells and the southern drainage of Pioneer Wash. This 1960s-era topography reveals how early settlers and ranchers adapted to the desert, directing water through an unnamed Canal and utilizing the seasonal flow of Chalk Creek. The terrain transitions from the low-lying basin known as The Sink toward the prominent elevations of Bald Mountain and West Mountain to the southeast. At the southern edge, the distinctive volcanic character of the region emerges at The Cinders, while primitive access is maintained through the Central Utah Jeep Trail and other rugged routes like those leading through Devils Kitchen. Local industry is evidenced by scattered gravel pits, marking the intersection of geological resources and basic infrastructure.
