Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Pleasant Valley (Nevada-Utah)”, the useful work is to connect “valley in White Pine County, Nevada and Juab County, Utah in the United States” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

The strongest evidence will usually combine a dated visual record with documents produced by the authority responsible for the place. The source revision retrieved here is dated Feb 7, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q60792449. Authority coordinates are 39.641, -114.018. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference.

Critical limits

A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Treat names, boundaries and functions as historically changeable. Maps, plans, inventories and administrative records can clarify what the place meant at different dates.
