About this map

The arid Millard County landscape is dominated by volcanic geography and high-desert water management features in this 2010 study. A prominent geologic feature, Lava Ridge, runs through the southern section of the quadrangle, illustrating the volcanic history of the region. This volcanic presence is further marked by high points such as North Twin Peak and the larger formation of Twin Peaks, while Black Point serves as another distinctive landmark in the central terrain.

Water management in this dry environment is evident through a series of isolated reservoirs and natural outlets. The map documents vital local water sources including Hole-in-the-Rock Reservoir, the Black Point Reservoir, and the Clear Spot Reservoirs situated within Clear Spot Flat. The presence of Twin Peaks Spring further highlights the rare natural water points that have historically supported ranching and transit across these remote flats.
