1986 Map of Cinder Crater

About this map

Cinder Crater and the surrounding volcanic landscape dominate this high-desert terrain along the Millard Co Beaver Co line. Mapping in the mid-1980s reveals a region defined by geological exploration and water management, evidenced by the presence of Danish Reservoir and several Prospects scattered across the sage and cedar-flecked hills. The sheet captures the transition from the broad, flat expanses of Horse Flat to the more broken geography of Fourmile Ridge and Cedar Grove. Extraction activity is a visible part of the local economy, with several Cinder Pits and a Gravel Pit noted near the winding path of Cove Creek. This area serves as a rugged intersection of ranching and resource scouting, where unimproved trails lead to remote landmarks like the Corral and various unnamed Prospect sites.
