About this map

Grouse Creek defines the central axis of this high-desert landscape in Box Elder County, where the desert floor meets the rising foothills. The southern edge of the quadrangle is anchored by the Southern Pacific railroad corridor, a vital transcontinental link that facilitated industrial activity in this arid region during the late 20th century. Evidence of local extraction is scattered across the terrain, including a notable Mine and various Gravel Pits located near the Grouse Creek Junction.

Navigation through the sagebrush and slopes relies on a network of Jeep Trails that connect remote sites like a lone Prospect to the primary valley floor. The map records a specific moment of transition, with revisions from 1982 superimposed on the original 1967 survey data, capturing subtle changes in fence lines and woodland cover. This detailed topography serves as a precise guide to the intersection of resource extraction and railroad transit in the Great Basin.
