About this map

Kennaday Peak dominates this Carbon County landscape, a prominent summit in an area defined by high-elevation ranching and complex water management. The 2012 survey illustrates the importance of water rights in this arid terrain, showing a network of irrigation features such as the Wiant Supply Ditch, Highland Ditch, and Elk Hollow Ditch that feed the local valleys. These man-made channels cut across a natural drainage system of numerous creeks, including Troublesome Cr and Middle Cedar Cr.

Settlement is concentrated at established outfits like Kennaday Ranch and Corpening Ranch, while the inclusion of the Cedar Creek Ranch Airport reflects the logistical needs of modern high-country operations. Recreational and geographical markers such as Troublesome Ridge, Lime Kiln Park, and Red Hill Park are interspersed among a dense network of Forest Service routes, including Forest Road 261 and Forest Service Road 292, which provide access through Cedar Pass.
