2011 Map of Cedar

About this map

The settlement of Cedar serves as a central point in this Carbon County landscape, situated where the high desert terrain transitions toward significant natural drainages. Modern infrastructure follows historical corridors, with Pole Rd and Cedar Rd cutting through the arid plains to connect remote landmarks. The hydrography of the region is defined by seasonal washes and reliable water sources such as Good Water Spring and Coon Spring, which likely dictated early land use and transit patterns in this part of Utah. Multiple watercourses, including Icelander Creek and Horse Creek, converge and diverge across the quadrangle, illustrating the complex drainage system of the basin. Elevation changes become more pronounced toward the eastern margin, where The Cove and the mouth of Fan Canyon mark the beginning of more varied relief. These geographic features, along with Grassy Trail Creek, highlight the essential relationship between water access and habitation in this environment.
