2011 Map of Badger Island NW

About this map

Great Salt Lake dominates this 2011 survey, showing the complex and shifting shoreline of its western reaches in Tooele County. The map provides a detailed look at the hydrologic patterns and mudflats where the water meets the Lakeside Valley. This specific landscape demonstrates the stark, saline geography of the eastern Great Basin, where the minimal elevation change creates a vast, shallow interaction between the lake and the desert floor. The intricate line work captures the network of dikes and natural channels that define this particular corner of the lake bed, offering a snapshot of the region's environmental state just after the first decade of the millennium.
