About this map

Champlin sits at a crossroads of arid terrain and transportation history in this Juab County landscape. The settlement is positioned near the junction of Old Highway 50 and Coal Rd, providing a clear view of the regional road network as it existed in the early 21st century. The geography is dominated by striking geological features, most notably the Tanner Creek Narrows where Tanner Cr cuts through the high ground between the Black Mountains and the northern reaches of the Gilson Mountains.

Evidence of the desert's shifting nature is visible at the White Sand Dunes in the west, while the northern boundary is defined by Jericho Ridge and the Jericho Wash. To the northwest, the Little Sahara Main Rd provides access to the recreational dunes, contrasting the industrial and logistical purpose of the rail-side roads further south. This survey documents a transition zone where mountain ranges meet expansive desert washes.
