1949 Map of Cedar City NW

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Iron mining operations dominate the western slopes of Granite Mountain and the Eightmile Hills, where the landscape is marked by numerous extraction sites including the Vermilion Mine and the West Pioche Mine. This 1949 survey captures the industrial footprint of the region before the eventual idling of many sites, such as the Great Western Mine (Inactive) and the Armstrong Mine (Inactive). Below the mountain heights, the Union Pacific railroad cuts a diagonal line across the Cedar Valley, serving as the primary corridor for the era's ore and agricultural transport.
