A number of highway junctions in the U.S. state of Utah have names that appear on maps and in state laws designating the highways. Sometimes the junction name also refers to the surrounding community or area as well as just the highway junction itself. In a few instances, the highway junction shares the name with a nearby railroad junction. Such sharing of names does not include the many, many named railroad junctions within the state, some of whose name also refers to the surrounding community or area, but has no relation to any highway junction (for example, Cache Junction). La Sal Junction is a very small town with no running businesses.[1][2]

There is also a town named Junction (which is the county seat of Piute County) where US 89 and SR-153 meet.

Notes

  1. Due to limited reference material and extensive highway realignments, specific details regarding the exact location of the Kamas Junction and the former Keetley Junction is very limited.
  2. Over the years there has been substantial name re-designation and minor roadway realignment in the area of the Mammoth and Tintic junctions. Originally the roadways in the area formed a rough triangle (with sides of 1–2 miles (1.6–3.2 km). The eastern side (with a slight curve to the west) was US-6/US-50, the southwestern (straight) side was SR-36, and the northwestern (straight) side was a local road. The northern junction (US-6/US-50 and the local road, plus another local road leading south-southeast to Mammoth) was designated as Mammoth Junction and the western junction (SR-36 and the local road) was designated as Tintic Junction, with the southern junction (US-6/US-50 and SR-36) being unnamed. The US-50 designation was later applied to a separate highway further south in the state and the local road on the northwestern side was designated as SR-36, with the southwestern side being temporarily re-designated as SR-67. Later the southwestern side was re-designated once again as SR-36 (with two sections leading to Tintic Junction). Finally, the SR-36 designation was removed from the northwestern side (leaving it as a local road once again) and the Tintic Junction was applied to the formerly unnamed junction (US-6 and SR-36). The final result appears much the same as the original, except that Tintic Junction moved about a mile southeast.[92][93]
