About this map

Antelope Island anchors the northern extent of this survey, where the terrestrial landforms of the Great Basin meet the expansive waters of the Great Salt Lake. This southern tip of the island features prominent elevations such as Mollys Nipple and the Garr Knolls, which overlook Indian Bay and the narrow Antelope Island Bar. The presence of McIntyre Spring provides a rare freshwater point in this arid, saline environment, while Unicorn Point marks the southernmost projection of the island's landmass.

Along the eastern shore, the landscape transitions into the wetlands and flats of the mainland, where Lee Cr flows toward the lake. This area is defined by the intersection of natural topography and modern infrastructure, including the route of Antelope Island Rd and the significant county boundaries that divide Davis, Salt Lake, and Tooele counties. The map provides a clear view of the shorelines and survey townships, including t2n r3w and t1n r3w, during the early 21st century.
