2020 Map of Jericho

About this map

Jericho sits as a lonely point of reference in this arid reach of Juab County, defined by the transport corridor of the Union Pacific Rd. This modern survey illustrates the rugged southern terminus of the Tintic Valley, where the open basin gives way to the prominent elevations of the Gilson Mountains. The drainage of Tanner Cr and the deep incision of Wash Canyon mark the topography, while a sparse network of routes like Rte 1812 and Gilson Basin Rd provide the only access across the high desert terrain. The landscape is dominated by wide-open spaces and steep contour gradients, offering a clear view of the geographic isolation and infrastructure required to navigate this portion of the Great Basin.
