What 峪 means
A mountain valley or ravine. 峪 combines 山, mountain, with 谷, valley, to mark terrain. A Yuan-dynasty drama by Li Zhifu gives the earliest dated literary use located here, 峪前 (“before the valley”).
From the Yuan dynasty to the Ming period, records move from 嘉谷山 to 嘉峪山 and 嘉峪关. 谷 and 峪 are connected forms; 峪’s job is place naming.
Geographical and name-like; alone, it reads as a place-name fragment, not a reaction.

1Why does 峪 show as a box on some devices?
Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
