2017 Map of Clay Knoll

About this map

Little Drum Mountains and the Chalk Knolls define the high ground of this Millard County landscape, where water management is the primary marker of human presence. The eastern half of the map is dominated by the wide, marshy course of the Old River Bed, a significant geological feature that channels moisture through an otherwise arid basin. This drainage system is supported by a network of man-made improvements including Marshall Ditch and several containment sites such as W Marshall Tract Reservoir and N Clay Knoll Reservoir. The map illustrates a remote grazing or resource-management area where life centers on isolated water sources like Little Drum Spring. Modern transportation is limited to established routes like Old 6 & 50 and service tracks like 1 PP Maint RD, highlighting the sparse, utilitarian nature of the region's infrastructure.
