1967 Map of Jericho

About this map

The Union Pacific railroad corridor serves as the primary artery through this arid Utah landscape, passing through the small outpost of Jericho at the northern end of the Tintic Valley. Situated near a Water Tank and a Gravel Pit, the settlement of Jericho represents a critical historical waypoint for rail operations in Juab County. The terrain transitions dramatically from the broad, wash-cut flats of the valley floor to the steep, wooded slopes of the Gilson Mountains in the south, where a high-elevation Corral and numerous winding paths like the Jeep Trail suggest a landscape used for seasonal grazing and resource extraction. The presence of a Prospect near the rail line further underscores the region's connection to the mining and freight economy that defined this part of Utah during the mid-20th century.
