About this map

The Beaver River winds through this arid expanse of Millard County, shaping a landscape defined by significant hydrological management and distinct geological features. This 2020 survey documents the placement of Red Rock Number 1 Reservoir and Red Rock Number 2 Reservoir, critical water infrastructure in a region where the river meets the vast Escalante Desert.

Elevated terrain features prominently in the northern and western sections of the quadrangle, notably the Red Hills and the transition through Black Rock Pass. These landforms, along with Shorts Valley and Cedar Wash, illustrate the drainage patterns of the Great Basin. The presence of Beaver Bottoms in the southeast corner provides a notable contrast to the surrounding desert, marking a specialized riparian environment near the eponymous Red Rock Knoll.
