2018 Map of Cedar Mountain

About this map

The Beale Wagon Road cuts across this high-desert plateau within the Kaibab National Forest, marking a historic path of westward expansion. This 2018 survey reveals a landscape defined by its network of historic routes and vital water collection points, known locally as tanks. The Great Western Trail and the Winter Camp Great Western Trail traverse the center of the sheet, intersecting with numerous legacy roads such as Old "115" Rd and Old "707" Rd. Significant topographical features rise from the flats, including the prominent Howard Mesa and Buck Mtn. The reliance on surface water in this arid region is evident through named features like Indian Tank, Ivie Tank, and Boulin Tank, which supported the livestock and travelers passing through these basins near Horse Trap Canyon.
