2023 Map of Cinder Crater

About this map

Cinder Crater defines the high-desert topography of this region, which straddles the boundary between Millard and Beaver counties. The landscape is characterized by its significant geologic formations and water management features like the Danish Reservoir on Cove Creek. Transport across this arid terrain is facilitated by historical routes such as Black Rock Rd and the long-established path from Cunningham to Pine Creek. Along the western edge, the Mineral Mountains rise sharply, creating a complex series of drainage systems including Water Canyon and Fourmile Canyon. These features, alongside the prominent Fourmile Ridge, illustrate the challenges of 21st-century land use in a region defined by its volcanic history and strategic water sources like Horse Flat.
