In the standard add-on package under Graphics`Graphics3D` there is a
command ScatterPlot3D which does what you call a 3D list plot. It should
work fine. The syntax would be like ScatterPlot3D[ResistMap3D1].

Yes to both. To start with you only need one Graphics3D command.
Graphics3D[{Point[{-1260,0,5060}], .... ,Point[{0,1260,5056}]}]. The
command you want to insert to adjust the point size is PointSize[], or
AbsolutePointSize[]. This goes before the first point inside the
Graphics3D declaration. They each take a single real number. The
difference is in the units.
