About this map

Cedar Mountain dominates the northern landscape of this Emery County survey, giving way to a network of high plateaus and deep drainage systems. The map documents a rugged high-desert environment defined by seasonal water sources and livestock infrastructure, including the Buckhorn Corral and several family-named springs such as Joe Jensen Spring and Bob Hill Spring. Of particular interest is the Old Railroad Grade cutting across the central plains of Buckhorn Flat, reflecting the industrial and transport history of the region.

The southern portion of the sheet reveals the complex topography of The Wedge, where the winding path of Buckhorn Wash carves through the terrain. Notable water features like Sweazy Hole and Aldys Hole appear alongside localized landmarks such as Mamies Garden and Wimmer Knoll. Traces of early resource extraction are evident at a lone Mine near the wash, while the upper elevations transition into broad reaches like Huff Bench and Wimmer Flat.
