Towns & Villages in Grand County<\/h2>\n

Grand County’s settled places split into two incorporated municipalities — Moab (city, the seat) and Castle Valley (town) — and a handful of small unincorporated communities and rail sidings strung along U.S. Route 191 and the old Denver & Rio Grande line. Several names on record, such as Agate, Elgin, Floy, Sagers, Solitude, Three Pines and Vista, were 20th-century railroad stops or ranch sidings with no current population and are noted separately below rather than in the table.<\/p>\n

Cisco, once a Denver & Rio Grande Western railroad water stop and later an oil-boom town, has been effectively abandoned since the 1990s but its weathered buildings are a well-known roadside landmark visible from I-70. Thompson Springs was Grand County’s rail shipping point before Moab’s uranium boom and still has occupied homes and a post office. Westwater, Dewey and Crescent Junction are small clusters of homes and highway services rather than platted towns.<\/p>\n
