Hamlin Valley is a mostly north-south trending valley of the Great Basin located on both sides of the NevadaUtah state line. It is about 60 miles (97 km) long. Its north-northeast end point adjacent the state line, is the southwest start region of the Snake Valley (Great Basin).

On the north it merges with Snake Valley, about 11 miles (18 km) south of Garrison; the south of the Snake Range north-northwest, causes the north valley to narrow and change to northeasterly, as the valley merges into Snake Valley.
