2010 Map of Black Rock

About this map

Black Rock and Malone sit within a high-desert landscape defined by scarce water sources and long-distance desert tracks in western Utah. This 2010 survey illustrates the vital importance of groundwater in the region, centered on the Black Rock Well and a cluster of nearby springs including Tie House Spring, Big Spring, and Alkali Spring. The intermittent Beaver River and Cove Creek cross the terrain, their ephemeral nature contrasted by the grid-like precision of local roads such as Black Rock Rd and S 24300 West St. This area reflects a quiet ranching or transit character where named seeps like Kaufman Seep remain essential landmarks for navigation and land use in an otherwise arid expanse of Millard County.
