2014 Map of Black Rock

About this map

Black Rock sits as a lonely outpost within the wide expanse of Millard County, where the desert landscape is defined more by its vital water sources than its sparse settlements. This 2014 survey traces the path of the Beaver River and Cove Cr as they move through the arid environment, feeding into the Beaver Bottoms. The map provides an essential record of local hydrography, identifying specific springs like The House Spring, Big Spring, and the uniquely named Wolfman Seep. These water points were historical lifelines for travelers and early inhabitants traversing the Escalante Desert. To the south, the settlement of Malone appears near the intersection of several section-line roads, such as W 15300 S. The layout of the region reveals a transition from natural landmarks to modern infrastructure, highlighted by the presence of the Energy Corridor Rd and Crystal Peak Rd, which slice through the traditional township boundaries of T24S and T25S.
