1958 Map of Cedar City

About this map

St George and Cedar City anchor this mid-century survey of the southwestern Utah frontier, where the high desert meets the southern plateaus. The map documents a landscape defined by dramatic geological transitions, from the Escalante Desert in the northwest to the towering Pink Cliffs and Markagunt Plateau in the east. Local industry is clearly visible through the presence of the Desert Western Mine and the Silver Reef Mine, the latter noting its extraction of both silver and uranium during the height of the atomic era.
