2017 Map of Sunnyside Junction

About this map

Sunnyside Junction anchors this portion of Carbon County, where the desert floor meets the rising elevations of Rock Canyon and the surrounding high country. The landscape is defined by a network of seasonal watercourses and drainages including Grassy Trail Cr, Bear Cr, and Pace Cr, which cut through the broad expanse of Clark Valley. Infrastructure for the region's energy and ranching history is evident in labels like Oil Well Draw and the Big Springs Ranch. The presence of the Kiz Cem north of the junction provides a specific point of interest for genealogists tracing early families in this arid terrain. A complex web of local roads such as Loco Flats Rds and the Clark Valley Maze Rd indicates the ongoing use of this backcountry for transit between more established settlements and remote ranching outposts.
