2017 Map of Arinosa

About this map

The Great Salt Lake Desert dominates this Tooele County landscape, presenting a stark expanse defined more by the absence of permanent settlement than by its presence. Modern infrastructure cuts a thin, straight line across the northern section of the map, where the Interstate 80 corridor and the Arinosa railroad line run parallel, tracing a historical path of travel through this arid basin. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey shows the precise land management divisions of the Public Land Survey System, including t1s r17w, t1s r16w, t2s r17w, and t2s r16w. The area is characterized by its expansive salt flats and occasional wetland pockets, representing a challenging environment where transit and surveying have historically been the primary human activities.
