"Major" and "Minor" Interstate Junctions

[Hwy 61 Revisited]

This is a thread for "major" (X0/X5) highway junctions in very small metropolitan areas, whereas a "minor" corridor (any number other than 0/5) serves a more major city.

Examples:
80/25 at Cheyenne, WY (pop. 58k)
90/35 at Albert Lea, MN (pop. 18k)
90/15 at Butte, MT (pop. 36k)
90/25 at Buffalo, WT (pop. 5k)
15/40 at Barstow, CA (pop. 23k)

Interstates 75 and 10 intersect in rural Columbia County, FL, with a population of 68k.

I-95 and I-26 intersect in the middle of nowhere in South Carolina

I-26 may not be "major"  per say, but it is the most prolific interstate in SC

- Interstate 95 / Interstate 40 junction near Benson, NC, a town of 3,000. Benson is also listed as a control "city" from Raleigh and Wilmington.
- Interstate 10 / Interstate 55 junction near Laplace, LA, a town of 32,000.
- Interstate 10 / Interstate 20 junction in Reeves County, TX, a county of 14,000, in the middle of nowhere with no towns nearby.
- Interstate 15 / Interstate 70 junction near Cove Fort, UT.
- Interstate 40 / Interstate 81 junction near Dandridge, TN, a town of 3,000. I-81 is not technically a -0 or -5 route, though does act as one. A significant amount of I-40 East traffic merges into I-81 North into Virginia and points north, and vice versa, at this location, while the rest stay on I-40 into North Carolina.
- Interstate 81 / Interstate 64 (north) junction near Staunton, VA, a city of 24,000. Again, while both are not technically -0 or -5 routes, they do act as such. A decent amount of I-81 North traffic (not coming from I-64 from the west but rather from I-77 or TN I-81 from the south) merge onto I-64 East bound to Charlottesville, Richmond, and Hampton Roads, and vice versa, at this location, while the rest stay on I-81 into the northern half of Virginia into Maryland.
- Interstate 77 / Interstate 81 junction near Wytheville, VA, a town of 8,000. Both not -0 or -5 routes, though both act as such with I-81 spanning Tennessee to Canada, and I-77 spanning South Carolina to Ohio. Due to its position, a decent amount of I-77 North traffic merges onto I-81 North, and vice versa as opposed to staying on I-77 through the I-81 South overlap.

Interstate 15 / Interstate 70 junction near Cove Fort, UT, a town of 400.

What's your source for that? From what I remember of Cove Fort it consists pretty much entirely of the historic fort site and a gas station. I would have estimated the population to be no more than 100.

I had originally looked up "Cove Fort, Utah"  population, and this came up - https://www.city-data.com/city/Cove-Utah.html

I now realize it is referring to Cove, Utah, another town in the state.

I'm not sure there's a permanent population for the Cove Fort area.

I wouldn't put Butte on that list. It's a little to big. It has, for example, a Rand McNally insert. It even has a 3di.

Still a relatively small town / city compared to a major metro of a few thousand or over a million people.

I guess it's big for Montana but not the country.
