1958 Map of Cedar Breaks

About this map

Dixie National Forest dominates this mid-century topographic survey, where high-altitude plateaus give way to the amphitheater-like erosions of the Cedar Breaks National Monument. The terrain is marked by sharp elevation changes, from the heights of Brian Head and Sidney Peaks down into the intricate drainages of Ashdown Canyon and Deep Canyon. Local industry and resource extraction are evident through isolated sites such as the Shooting Star Mine and Cluff Mine, while the Ashdown Trail and Horse Pasture Trail trace the movement of people and livestock across the ridgelines.
