1972 Map of Sunnyside Junction

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Clark Valley is the central topographical focus of this 1970s survey, where the arid landscape is defined by a network of seasonal drainages. Water courses like Pace Creek, Dugout Creek, Rock Creek, and Bear Creek converge as they flow toward the south, while Grassy Trail Creek cuts across the lower terrain. This area represents a critical intersection of transportation and resource extraction in Carbon County. The Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad serves as a primary corridor through the valley, passing near the small settlement of Sunnyside Junction. Evidence of local industry and ranching is scattered throughout the quadrangle, from the Big Spring Ranch and several Gravel Pits to a series of Jeep Trails that navigate the high ground. A small Cem and isolated Gas Wells indicate the sparse but steady human footprint in this high-desert environment.
