2017 Map of Crescent Junction
USGS Topo · Published 2017About this map
The high desert landscape of Grand County is dominated by the towering Book Cliffs and their southern benches. This 2017 survey shows the intersection of modern transit and older infrastructure at Crescent Junction and the railroad siding of Brendel. The terrain is deeply incised by drainages like Thompson Wash and Little Grand Wash, which define the movement of travelers through the area. Evocative place names like Horse Heaven and Christmas Ridge suggest the area's grazing and mineral history, while features like Copper Mine Ridge point toward local industry. Transport history is visible through the alignment of Old Hwy Cisco and the Railroad Rd, illustrating how early corridors shaped the modern path of Interstate 70 through this arid stretch of the Colorado Plateau.
