About this map

Cedar Creek serves as the primary focal point of this arid landscape, where the confluence of several seasonal waterways dictates the placement of local infrastructure. The settlement is situated near the Cedar Creek Rodeo Grounds, a significant local landmark reflecting the ranching traditions of the region. Transportation is defined by Indian Rte 38 and Indian Rte 39, which navigate between prominent topographic features such as Silver Butte, Sugarloaf Butte, and Red Knoll.

A network of water management features, including Two Bit Tank, Junction Tanks, and various springs like Wigwam Spring and Waterfall Spring, are scattered across the terrain. These labels provide a clear indication of how vital water resources were to this area, which transitions from Horse Bone Flat into the dramatic depths of Big Canyon. The drainage systems of West Cedar Creek, Middle Cedar Creek, and East Cedar Creek converge here, illustrating the complex hydrology of this high-desert environment.
