1990 Map of Curlew Junction

About this map

Curlew Valley defines the arid landscape of this border region where Box Elder County, Utah, meets Cassia County, Idaho. The map captures a high-desert environment shaped by historical passage and modern water management, notably featuring the trace of the Emigrant Trail as it cuts across the terrain. At Curlew Junction, the intersection of transport and topography is clear, with infrastructure like an aqueduct and an Abandoned Ditch illustrating the ongoing effort to manage water in this basin. To the north, the boundary of the Sawtooth National Forest introduces more varied elevation, while isolated water sources like Pilot Spring remain critical landmarks in an otherwise sparse landscape. The presence of several Gravel Pit sites suggests local industrial activity within the valley’s open expanse.
