2014 Map of Cedar Mountain

About this map

Hurricane Cliffs and the elevated plateau of Cedar Mountain define the high-elevation landscape southeast of Cedar City. This 2014 survey captures a region of complex topography where drainage systems like Shirts Cr and Murie Cr have carved deep canyons and hollows through the rock. The map illustrates the careful management of water in this arid environment, featuring the Cedar City Corp Storage Reservoir and the Meadow Hollow Reservoir at the southern edge of the sheet. Distinctive formations such as The Pyramids, Sugarloaf Mtn, and Three Knolls Summit provide fixed landmarks across the varied terrain. Settlement is sparse, with human presence marked primarily by the winding course of Kolob Rd and localized grazing areas like Co-op Flat and Long Flat. The presence of numerous named springs, including Pine Spring and Day Spring, underscores the critical nature of water sources for both local livestock and historical land use patterns.
