1972 Map of Antelope Island South

USGS Topo · Published 1992

About this map

Antelope Island rises from the southern reaches of the Great Salt Lake, its southern tip defined by prominent landmarks like Mollys Nipple and Mcintyre Spring. The landscape transition from the high ground of the island down across the Alkali or Mud flats reveals a complex industrial and recreational history along the shoreline. In the early 1970s, the southeastern edge of the lake was a hub of activity centered around the Saltair Resort (Site) and Saltair Beach, where the legacy of rail transport is still visible through the Old Railroad Grade and other historic embankments. Further south, the map details the infrastructure of the Great Salt Lake's mineral industry, including extensive Salt Evaporators, a Tailings Pond, and the small settlement at Saltus. The mapping of an Aqueduct and various gaging stations highlights the management of water and salt resources in this unique environment.
