2023 Map of Black Point

About this map

Lava Ridge and the volcanic formations of Millard County dominate this high-desert landscape, defined by dramatic elevation changes and essential water catchments. The terrain is anchored by the prominent North Twin Peak, part of the larger Twin Peaks range, which rises sharply above the surrounding flats. This 2023 survey illustrates the critical role of water management in an arid environment, where man-made catchments like Hole-in-the-Rock Reservoir, Black Point Reservoir, and the Clear Spot Reservoirs are strategically placed to collect runoff. The presence of Twin Peaks Spring and the expansive Clear Spot Flat suggests a landscape shaped by both intermittent moisture and ancient geological activity. Transportation in the area is minimal, primarily limited to local routes such as W 6500 South St, which skirts the northern edge of the volcanic features.
