Junction is a community-created Attack/Defend Control Point map. It was included with the Scout Update as an official community-developed map due to its outstanding quality. Its design is similar to Gravel Pit.
The goal for BLU is to attack and capture all three points in order to win the match. A and B must be captured before C can be. For RED to win, they must hold out and prevent BLU from capturing the final point C.

Locations
Note: If you are having trouble with finding the locations listed here, see the Helpful overview section to see their exact position marked on the map.
Junction is a tight, enclosed map with lots of hallways and passages leading to the three main control points. Make use of the Demoman and Soldier classes here for optimal results defensively and offensively.
Control Point A
Point A is located in a small room; it lies on an elevated platform with two sets of stairs leading up to it. The stairways are underneath the point itself, one in front facing BLU's spawn and one on the side.
- A Lobby: The A Lobby is the small area right outside of BLU's spawn and below the point. It connects to the A/B flank hallway, stairs, and A/C flank hallway.
- Stairs: Underneath the point is a small set of stairs that lead directly behind the point.
- Platform: The platform is the raised area at the end of the stairs overlooking the lobby where the control point rests upon.
- A/B Flank: Connected to the lobby is the A/B flank. It is a hallway that runs straight to B's control point. It also connects to the A/C flank.

Control Point B
Point B is located in a larger room with a balcony that covers two walls within it. B is in the corner where the two balconies meet, and it is only accessible through two side doorways. The point itself is covered by an indestructible window, preventing enemy fire directly on the point. Two stairways border and lead up to the point.
- B Lobby: The B Lobby is the other lobby outside BLU's spawn. It is larger than the A lobby and has crates scattered about it. It connects to the A/B flank and leads up to the balconies.
- Balconies: The balconies lay atop the stairs in the lobby and run along the outer walls. Both of them lead to the control point room. The far balcony connects to the B/C flank.
- Point Room: The point room is located at the end of the balconies and houses the control point. It is sealed off by windows that overlook the balcony,

Update history
February 24, 2009 Patch (Scout Update)
- Added Junction to the game.
- Fixed an exploit where Engineers could build a teleporter exit in an invalid area.
- Fixed a few bad overlay assignments and other minor issues.
- Updated Junction to score per-capture instead of per-round. This fixes the map not working correctly with Tournament mode and the stopwatch.
- Players are now prevented from building in spawn rooms.
Bugs
- Players can walk through a computer console in the area outside BLU's spawn.
