1991 Map of Crescent Junction

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

Crescent Junction serves as the focal point of this arid landscape, situated where highway and rail corridors intersect beneath the towering heights of Christmas Ridge. The map illustrates a region defined by its transit history and geological features, including the Old RR Grade and a Landing Strip that suggest the area's importance as a crossroads in eastern Utah. To the north, the terrain rises sharply toward Horse Heaven and Thompson Pass, while the southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the broad, sloping expanse of Crescent Bench and the intricate geological formations of the Crescent Dikes. Numerous dry washes, such as Crooked Wash and Thompson Wash, carve through the desert floor, leading toward the Valley City Reservoir. This survey captures the utilitarian nature of the landscape, noting various Prospects and Gravel Pits that hint at the local extractive industry during the late twentieth century.
