1950 Map of Cedar Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Cedar Mountain and the towering Hurricane Cliffs dominate this high-altitude landscape of southern Utah. Surveyed in the late 1940s, the map reveals a remote industrial and agricultural frontier defined by small-scale resource extraction. Evidence of the region’s carbon history is found at the Tucker Coal Mine in the northeast and scattered Coal Mines in Blue Valley. Water management is critical in this arid terrain, as seen at the Meadow Reservoir and numerous isolated water sources like Cooks Spring, Oak Spring, and Pine Spring. The presence of a Tramway and Pipe Line indicates the effort required to transport materials and water across steep topographic changes. Distinctive geological features like Sugarloaf Mtn, Graff Pt, and Square Mountain provide prominent landmarks for navigation across the ridges and canyons of Shurtz Creek and Urie Creek.
