1958 Map of Crescent Junction

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Crescent Junction serves as the focal point for this 1950s survey of the high desert of Grand County, situated at the base of the massive Book Cliffs. The landscape is a study in mid-century resource extraction and arid-land management, characterized by a network of test wells, oil wells, and scattered livestock watering holes like the Tenmile Wash Reservoir and Rock Corral Reservoir. The presence of Valley City (Site) marks the location of a former settlement, providing a waypoint for local historians tracking the shifting habitation patterns of the region.
