Creston Junction

Among Wyoming’s settlements, Creston Junction stands out for its isolated position on Interstate 80 and the Union Pacific rail corridor. It lies in the open high desert of Sweetwater County, near the Great Divide Basin, an internally drained area whose waters do not reach the ocean. The surrounding country forms part of the wider Red Desert, marked by sagebrush flats, long horizons and pronounced seasonal weather rather than dense development. Rail has shaped this route since 1868, when Union Pacific built its southern Wyoming line as part of the first transcontinental railroad. Road and rail traffic still define Creston Junction as a practical stop in a vast, sparsely populated part of the state.
