1954 Map of Antelope Island North

About this map

Great Salt Lake dominates this mid-1950s survey of the northern reaches of Antelope Island, a landscape defined by its stark separation from the mainland and its unique maritime topography. The map records several landform-specific markers of human activity and aviation history, notably the Antelope Airway Beacon and Camera Flats. The presence of the Tin Lambing Shed Basin and Ladyfinger Springs hints at the island's history of livestock management amidst its isolated terrain. Small satellite features like Egg Island and White Rock are charted along the margins of Buffalo Bay and White Rock Bay. On the northeastern corner, the salt-crusted transition to the mainland is visible via the Salt Flat and the drainage of Howard Slough, illustrating the fluctuating shoreline dynamics of this inland sea.
