2017 Map of Baileys Lake

About this map

Salt Lake City spreads across the southeastern portion of this landscape, where industrial development and aviation infrastructure meet the marshy edges of the Great Salt Lake. The terrain transitions from the developed streets of the city to the brackish wetlands and knolls of the lake basin. Significant landmarks like Baileys Lake and Salt Spring illustrate the hydrology of the area, while the N Point Consolidated Canal highlights early efforts to manage water for irrigation and drainage. Named topographic features such as Browns Island, Rabbit Knoll, and Cow Bay Knoll rise above the flat, marshy expanse, marking the subtle elevation changes of the Salt Lake Valley. The presence of settlements like Riter and Terminal near major transportation corridors such as Interstate 80 reflects the mid-century growth and logistical importance of this corridor between the city center and the lake shore.
