2020 Map of Cedar

About this map

The settlement of Cedar serves as a focal point in this high-desert landscape, situated near the boundary between Carbon and Emery counties. The terrain is defined by dramatic erosional features, including The Cove and Fan Canyon, which drain into a network of intermittent watercourses like Icelander Cr and Grassy Trail Cr. This 2020 survey illustrates a region where water is the primary architect of the land, evidenced by named reliable points such as Good Water Spring and Coon Spring. Local transit is supported by a series of graded roads, including Pole Rd and Cedar Rd, which provide access through the deep incisions of Middle Canyon and Horse Canyon. The spatial relationship between these canyons and the central drainage of Horse Cr reflects the traditional movement patterns across the Utah plateau country.
