Cedar Highlands sits atop the high plateau south of Cedar City, where the abrupt verticality of the Hurricane Cliffs gives way to a complex landscape of summits and hollows. This recent survey illustrates the modern road network, including the Kolob Rd and Kanarra Rd, which provide access to high-elevation terrain near Three Knolls Summit and Kanarra Mtn. The hydrology of the area is defined by numerous seasonal drainages and springs, such as Murie Cr, Hicks Cr, and Day Spring, which carve through deep depressions like Death Hollow and Spanish Hollow. Geologic landmarks such as The Pyramids and Sugarloaf Mtn stand as distinctive navigational points. The map provides a clear record of land use and naming conventions at the edge of the Iron County plateau, from the residential enclave at Cedar Highlands to the remote reaches of Oak Spring Flat.
