1972 Map of Antelope Island South

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The southeastern reaches of the Great Salt Lake are defined by the industrial and recreational remnants of the early 1970s. This orthophotomap, which layers topographic contours over aerial photography, reveals the stark contrast between the natural elevations of Antelope Island, featuring Mollys Nipple and McIntyre Spring, and the engineered landscape to the south. The shoreline is marked by the presence of the Saltair Resort (Site) and Saltair Beach, situated near a heavy concentration of Salt Evaporators and a Tailings Pond. Infrastructure like the Salt Lake Garfield and Western line and an Old Railroad Grade trace the movement of resources across the Alkali or Mud flats, while a Gaging Station and Pumping Station manage the water levels of Lee Creek and the Goggin Drain.
