The Great Salt Lake Desert dominates this Tooele County landscape, shown here in a 2017 survey. The terrain is characterized by a sprawling salt flat environment where traditional landmarks are replaced by the subtle elevation changes of the desert floor. This section of the basin reflects a highly specialized landscape, defined by township and range divisions such as t3s r15w and t2s r16w, which carve the open desert into a systematic grid. Geographers and historians can examine the precise contouring that defines the drainage patterns and slight rises within this unique geological setting, where the vastness of the Great Salt Lake Basin is captured in fine detail.
