About this map

Cedar Point sits atop the high plateau where the border of Utah and Colorado meets, overlooking a landscape defined by deep drainages and isolated water sources. This high-country region is dissected by numerous geological features including Coal Bed Canyon and Monument Canyon, which fall away from the central mesa. The map illustrates a sparse settlement pattern connected by a network of rural roads such as CO Road K and State Line Rd, serving the cattle and farming interests of San Juan and Dolores counties.

Critical water features like Burnt Cabin Spring and Bud Spring appear in the eastern reaches, likely vital points of interest for early ranchers and travelers traversing the terrain between Monument Creek and Burnt Cabin Creek. Notable landmarks like Bug Point and Mares Tail Canyon provide clear orientation points in a territory where the straight lines of the state boundary contrast sharply with the winding contours of Squaw Canyon and Tucker Canyon.
