About this map

Cedar Fort and the nearby settlement of Fairfield anchor this mid-1970s survey of the western Cedar Valley floor. The landscape preserves significant echoes of Utah's mid-19th-century military and frontier history, most notably at the Stage Coach Inn State Historical Site and Camp Floyd State Historical Site. These markers sit at the valley's southern edge near Big Spring, where the former Johnston’s Army once maintained its largest frontier outpost.

Linear features cut across the alluvial flats, including an Old Grade Railroad and a modern Aqueduct, illustrating the evolution of transportation and water management in this arid basin. To the west, the topography rises sharply into Long Ridge, where several deeply incised drainage systems like Broadmouth Canyon and Threemile Canyon spill out into the valley. The map also records local community infrastructure, from the small town Fire Sta to the Rodeo Grounds and a local Cem.
