1983 Map of Valley Wells

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Valley Wells serves as a focal point in this high-desert landscape of Shadow Valley, where the 1980s infrastructure of Interstate 15 intersects with earlier desert markers. The map reveals evidence of past habitation and industry through Ruins, several Tailings piles, and a small Cem located near a set of Water Tanks. This region's reliance on groundwater is evident in the notation of Windmills and a Rock Tank situated toward the south. The natural drainage of Kingston Wash cuts across the basin, framed by the foothills of the Mescal Range. The presence of a Valley Wells Safety Rest Area alongside various Gravel Pits and Borrow Pits highlights the area's role as a transit corridor and a source of materials for local highway development during this era.
