2014 Map of Red Rock Knoll

About this map

Red Rock Knoll stands as a prominent landmark within the high desert landscape of Millard County, where the transition from the Red Hills to the vast Escalante Desert is clearly defined. This arid region is marked by significant topographical shifts, including Shorts Valley and the steep elevation change at Black Rock Pass. Water management is central to the area's utility, evidenced by the Red Rock Number 1 Reservoir and Red Rock Number 2 Reservoir situated along the drainage of the Beaver River. The river's influence is further seen at the Beaver Bottoms in the southern portion of the quadrangle. Infrastructure in this remote area is primarily utilitarian, featuring the Crystal Peak Rd and the Energy Corridor Rd, which reflect the region's modern role as a transit point for resources and energy through the desert.
