1972 Map of Antelope Island North

About this map

Antelope Island anchors the southern portion of this orthophotomap, showing the north end of the island as it appeared in the early 1970s. The topography is marked by notable features such as Ladyfinger Springs and the uniquely named Tin Lambing Shed Basin, while the island's eastern shore includes Camera Flats. This period of the Great Salt Lake is recorded with specific bathymetric soundings and contours, noting an elevation of 4200 feet in 1953. Along the northeastern shoreline, the Howard Slough Waterfowl Management Area meets the edge of the lake, providing a clear view of the interface between the marshlands and the open water of the Howard Slough. Infrastructure for lake access and monitoring is present via a Boat Ramp near Ladyfinger and a Gaging Station 4203 on the northern coast.
