2020 Map of Wig Mountain NE

About this map

The Cedar Mountains dominate this western Utah landscape, transitioning sharply into the vast, flat expanse of the Great Salt Lake Desert to the west. This 2020 survey documents the intersection of arid topography and historic transportation, featuring the northern route of the Lincoln Hwy and Skull Valley Rd. The steep canyons of the range, including Rydalch Canyon and Six Horse Pass Canyon, are punctuated by essential water sources such as Browns Spring and Cedar Spring. These points of permanent water represent critical landmarks in a desert environment where movement is dictated by terrain and access to moisture. The map clearly illustrates the gap at Six Horse Pass, a natural crossing point through the southern reaches of the mountains, which serves as a gateway between the valley floor and the high desert plains.
