2017 Map of Aragonite SW

About this map

The Great Salt Lake Desert dominates this Tooele County landscape, where the vast alkali flats are segmented by a grid of Public Land Survey System township and range lines. The terrain is largely defined by its geological openness, with the occasional relief of desert roads cutting across the dry expanse. Remote routes like White Rocks Rd and White Rock Rd provide the only significant human markers through the central and southern portions of the map, while Skull Valley Rd skirts the eastern edge. To the northeast, the topography shifts slightly as the desert floor meets more elevated ground, crossed by E Sahara Rd. This 2017 survey provides an exacting look at the modern state of one of the most desolate and unique environments in the American West, capturing the sparse infrastructure that supports travel across the salt flats.
