2014 Map of Lampo Junction

About this map

Golden Spike National Historic Site anchors the southern portion of this landscape, marking the significant location where the first transcontinental railroad was completed. The terrain is defined by the broad Blue Creek Valley and Faust Valley, which separate the Blue Spring Hills from the Promontory Mountains. The settlement of Howell sits to the north, connected by Ut-83 to Lampo Junction and the small siding at Surbon. The presence of Engineer Spring and Engineer Mtn suggests the vital role of water and surveying in this arid region. Near the historic site, the Chinese Arch stands as a geographical landmark tied to the labor history of the railroad. The map depicts a network of county roads like W 12800 N and CR-1068 that facilitate movement through these high basins and across the ridges of Sand Hollow.
