2017 Map of Cedar Mountain

About this map

Hurricane Cliffs dominate the western edge of this Iron County landscape, where the high plateaus of southwest Utah transition into deep drainage basins. High-elevation landmarks like Sugarloaf Mtn and Cedar Mountain overlook a complex network of seasonal watercourses, including Shirts Cr and Murie Cr, which have carved numerous canyons and hollows through the years. The map reveals a history of land use and navigation through labels such as Cabbage Valley, Co-op Flat, and Oak Spring Flat, names that suggest the area's grazing and agricultural past. Movement across this terrain is defined by rugged corridors like Kolob Rd and Kanarra Rd, which connect isolated features such as Graff Point and The Pyramids. These labels, alongside family-named points like Lee Point and Pryor Knoll, offer genealogists and local historians a clear picture of the geographic identifiers used by residents in the 21st century.
