About this map

Cedar Mountain dominates the northern landscape of this Emery County survey, giving way to the dramatic erosional features of The Wedge and Buckhorn Wash to the south. The terrain is a network of named draws and hollows, where water is a critical resource marked by isolated points like Joe Jensen Spring and Squaw Spring. The map captures a transitional moment in the high desert, documenting an Old Railroad Grade winding through the center of the sheet, a legacy of earlier infrastructure and transport through this arid canyon country.

Remote livestock management and local history are reflected in features such as the Buckhorn Corral and the Summit Area. The presence of Mamies Garden and Wimmer Flat suggests the influence of early ranching families on the naming of the landscape. From the overlooks at View Point to the depths of Furniture Draw, the map provides a precise record of the land before significant modern development altered these canyon systems.
