About this map

The settlement of Cedar sits at a crossroads of transportation and natural drainage, positioned where the Carbon Co Emery Co boundary meets the lower reaches of Horse Cr. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the level flats near Icelander Cr to the prominent eastern elevations that include Horse Canyon and Fan Canyon. These geographic features are dissected by watercourses like Grassy Trail Cr and Coleman Wash, which provided essential routes and resources for early regional development.

Industrial and logistical infrastructure is prominent, with Us-191 and Ut-124 cutting through the terrain, the latter leading toward the Columbia Overlook. Strategic water sources such as Good Water Spring and Coon Spring offer insight into the historical reliance on isolated perennial flows in this part of the state. The naming of canyons and washes across the sheet highlights a legacy of local livestock or mining exploration along the margins of the High Plateaus.
