About this map

The Curlew Valley landscape in northern Utah is defined by the striking presence of the Wildcat Hills, a series of elevations that dominate the eastern portion of this high desert terrain. This 2020 survey illustrates a region shaped by its transit history, most notably marked by the Old Railroad Grade Rd running across the southern expanse. This path traces the legacy of the transcontinental rail route through Box Elder County, providing a clear reference for those studying the industrial and transportation development of the Great Basin.

Modern access is facilitated by a network of rural routes including Wildcat Mountain Rd and Kelton Rd, the latter of which leads toward the historic siding locations that once serviced the railroad. The map's detailed contours reveal the drainage patterns and arid topography surrounding the hills, offering a clear view of the area's geography as it remains today, preserved from significant urban development.
