2011 Map of Badger Island

About this map

Great Salt Lake dominates this 2011 survey, illustrating the stark island geography and deep-water channels of Tooele County. The northern portion of Stansbury Island is a central focal point, featuring the prominent elevation of Adams Peak and the passage of Pass Canyon. These landforms rise sharply from the surrounding waters, separated from nearby Carrington Island by the navigable Fremont Strait. The map captures the shoreline during a period of modern hydrological management, showing the precise relationship between the mountainous island terrain and the expansive saline waters. For those studying the environmental history or geographical layout of the lake's central basin, this study provides a clear look at the isolated topography and designated nautical passages that have long defined the region's character.
