About this map

Antelope Island rises from the surrounding Great Salt Lake in this 2011 survey, showing a landscape defined by prominent ridges and isolated springs. The map documents the island's varied topography, from the heights of Frary Peak and Stringham Peak to the distinct lowlands of Fremont Strait. The island's geography is punctuated by descriptively named landmarks such as Mollys Nipple, Elephant Head, and The Sentry, suggesting a history of local navigation and landform naming.

A network of freshwater sources, including Dairy Springs, Cedar Spring, and Blackburn Spring, is mapped alongside seasonal drainages like Garden Creek and Dry Canyon. Transportation is limited to the Antelope Island Rd, which skirts the eastern shore and provides access to features like Sea Gull Point and Dooly Knob. This map serves as a detailed record of the island's physical features before modern changes to the lake's water levels altered its shoreline and connection to the mainland.
