2011 Map of Beryl Junction

About this map

Beryl Junction serves as the focal point of this Iron County landscape, where the intersection of straight-line agricultural roads meets the industrial infrastructure of the eastern Escalante Valley. The map documents the presence of the Escalante Mine and its supporting water system, the Escalante Mine Canal, which cuts a distinct diagonal across the surveyed grid. To the south, the natural drainage of Shoal Creek and Pinon Park Wash meander through the terrain, contrasting with the rigid geometry of roads like Helca Mine Rd and Moyle Rd. The presence of the Beryl Junction Airport underscores the importance of this small settlement as a regional transit point for the surrounding high-desert mining and farming operations during the early 21st century.
