1972 Map of Tweedy Wash

About this map

Hamlin Valley serves as the central corridor of this arid landscape, where the state boundary between Nevada and Utah runs north-to-south through the high desert basins. The map illustrates a region defined by water management and sparse ranching infrastructure, featuring essential watering points such as North Little Springs, South Little Springs, and Big Spring Wash. The terrain is steeply defined to the east by the Mountain Home Range and Needle Point Mountain, while the valley floor is etched by drainage networks like Hamlin Valley Wash and Tweedy Wash. Traces of human activity are minimal but significant for the era, including a Corral, a Storage Bin, and a cluster of features known as The Pots. The presence of a solitary Well and various Jeep Trails underscores the seasonal and remote nature of resource extraction and livestock grazing in the early 1970s.
