2011 Map of Arinosa NE

About this map

Metaphor: The Tree of Utah, a prominent 87-foot tall sculpture, stands as a singular vertical landmark in this otherwise flat expanse. The surrounding landscape is dominated by the Great Salt Lake Desert, characterized by its vast salt crust and minimal topographic relief. The map illustrates a section of the Interstate 80 corridor, where the sculpture was designed to offer visual interest to travelers crossing the basin. Apart from the highway and the Frontage Rd, the terrain remains largely undeveloped, serving as a stark illustration of the environment in western Tooele County. This survey captures the relationship between modern art and the geographic isolation of the Great Basin during the early 21st century.
