1983 Map of Valley Wells

About this map

Shadow Valley dominates this high desert landscape, characterized by the seasonal drainage of Kingston Wash and the northern reach of the Mescal Range. The map documents a sparsely populated but active corridor along Interstate 15, where infrastructure like 2 Underground Pipelines and a Borrow Pit serve the region's transport and utility needs. Evidence of earlier habitation and pastoral life appears at the Valley Wells (Site), marked by Ruins, a small Cem, and nearby Tailings, suggesting a history of small-scale mining or ranching. Further south, the Valley Wells Safety Rest Area marks the modern footprint of travelers, while traditional land use persists through scattered Corrals, Windmills, and the Rock-Tank located near the southern boundary.
