2020 Map of Arinosa SE

About this map

The Great Salt Lake Desert dominates this landscape, revealing the stark and specialized topography of the eastern edge of the Great Basin in Tooele County. This 2020 survey illustrates the complex drainage and elevation patterns of the salt flats, where the lack of human infrastructure highlights the extreme environmental conditions of the region. The map is primarily characterized by subtle topographic contours and alkaline flats, providing a precise record of the land surface as documented by the National Elevation Dataset and National Hydrography Dataset. This specific section of the desert remains a significant corridor for understanding the vast, uninhabited stretches of western Utah and the natural boundaries formed by the ancient lake bed.
