2020 Map of Fifteenmile Point

About this map

Lawson Cove Reservoir serves as a vital water collection point in this arid stretch of Millard County, where the desert floor meets the rising elevations of the Great Basin. The landscape is defined by the broad expanse of Lawson Cove, a natural basin flanked by the prominent Gray Hills to the west and the namesake Fifteenmile Point to the southeast. This 2020 survey illustrates the isolation of the region, where the only significant thoroughfare is the unpaved Tule Valley Rd cutting across the northeastern corner. The topography reveals a complex network of dry washes and alluvial fans that drain toward the cove, providing a detailed record of the drainage patterns essential for land management and geological study in this remote interior of Utah.
