About this map

The eastern reaches of the Great Salt Lake dominate this survey, centered on the isolated landmass of Badger Island. The map provides a detailed view of the fluctuating shoreline and internal bays of Tooele County, where the massive profile of Stansbury Island rises sharply from the water. Topographic contours illustrate the steep elevations of this island, particularly around the northern Boulder Point and the southern drainage of Pass Canyon.

Hydrographic details define the coastal character of the region, identifying specific inlets such as Stansbury Bight and Sandy Beach Bay. To the north, the tip of Carrington Island appears near the boundary of Sac Bay. This 2017 edition documents the relationship between the lake's open waters, including Stansbury Bay and Crystal Bay, and the high-desert islands that have historically served as significant landmarks for navigation and grazing in the basin.
