About this map

Curlew Junction serves as the focal point of this 2014 survey, marking the intersection of high-desert transit corridors where Ut-42 meets Ut-30. This remote corner of Box Elder County is defined by the broad expanse of the Curlew Valley, a landscape shaped by drainage from the northern highlands of the Sawtooth National Forest. The map illustrates a sparse but vital network of water sources essential for this arid environment, including Pilot Spring and Coyote Spring located near the base of the mountains.

Evidence of the region's agricultural and ranching heritage is seen in the straight-line access provided by Wildcat Mountain Rd and Black Pine Rd. The terrain is characterized by the steady elevation change from the valley floor up toward the Idaho border, where the boundary between Cassia and Box Elder Counties meets the Idaho-Utah state line, reflecting the geopolitical layout of the Great Basin's northern edge.
