2016 Map of Cedar Mountain

About this map

The King Co Knox Co border defines the western edge of this landscape, where the terrain is marked by a series of deep drainages and cattle tanks. The namesake Cedar Mountain rises in the northeast, overlooking a complex network of seasonal waterways including Little Croton Cr and Smelter Cr. Ranching operations are evident through family-named landmarks like Moorehouse Brothers Ranch Lake and Lyles Brothers Lake, along with essential water catchments such as Coppermine Tank and Horseshoe Tank. The geography is further characterized by dramatic relief names, including Big Getaway Canyon, Little Getaway Canyon, and Panther Canyon, which cut through the high ground. This area, largely devoid of major settlements, preserves a record of land use focused on the intermittent flows of Hackberry Cr and Dutchman Cr.
