About this map

The Hurricane Cliffs and the elevated plateau of Cedar Mountain dominate this landscape during the mid-twentieth century. This rugged terrain in southern Utah is defined by its industrial utility and water management, featuring a Tramway and Pipe Line that traverse the steep topography. Significant coal extraction activity is evident at the Tucker Coal Mine and other unnamed Coal Mines scattered through the canyons.

Water sources are vital to the area's grazing and mining operations, with numerous developed points like Day Spring, Co-op Spring, and the Meadow Hollow Reservoir providing necessary infrastructure. Notable landmarks such as Sugarloaf Mtn, Pryor Knoll, and Graff Pt serve as navigational anchors across Blue Valley and the surrounding flats. The map documents a period when resource extraction and seasonal grazing paths dictated the movement of people through these high-altitude canyons.
