About this map

The Hurricane Cliffs create a dramatic transition between the high plateaus and the lower desert elevations south of Cedar City. This modern survey documents the high-altitude drainage systems of Shirts Canyon and Blue Valley, where numerous seasonal springs such as Oak Spring and Day Spring provide water for the surrounding terrain. The landscape is defined by its massive landmarks, including Cedar Mountain and the distinctive formation known as The Pyramids.

A network of mountain roads, such as Kolob Rd and Kanarra Mountain Rd, provides access to several elevated flats and knolls that have historically supported local ranching and recreation. The mapping of Co-op Flat and Co-op Knoll suggests a history of collective land use or grazing associations. Higher elevations like Three Knolls Summit and Kanarra Mtn stand as prominent survey points overlooking the canyons and hollows of the Crystal Creek watershed.
