1972 Map of Beryl Junction

About this map

Escalante Valley defines the landscape of this southwestern Utah region, where irrigation and agriculture meet the high desert during the early 1970s. The settlement at Beryl Junction serves as a local hub, anchored by the Escalante Valley Sch and a nearby Airport. The reliance on water management is evident through the presence of numerous wells and the Escalante Canal, which diverts resources across the arid flats. To the west, the terrain rises sharply toward The Point, where industrial activity is marked by the Escalante Mine and several prospects. This intersection of heavy mining and systematic valley farming illustrates the dual-economic character of the area. Notable drainage features like Shoal Creek meander through the southern sections, while infrastructure such as a Substa and Radio Tower reflect the modern utility of the era.
