1997 Map of Baileys Lake

About this map

Great Salt Lake dominates the northwest corner of this landscape, where the shifting wetlands of the Farmington Bay Waterfowl Management Area meet the industrial and agricultural edges of the Salt Lake Valley. This 1997 data shows a territory defined by water management and recreational use, featuring numerous private hunting grounds like the Lake Front Duck Club and Rudy Duck Club scattered across the mud flats and knolls. The transition from the marshy Cow Bay to the developing urban fringe of Salt Lake City is visible through a complex network of man-made waterways, including the Surplus Canal and Goggin Drain. In the south, the industrial footprint of the valley is evident near Riter, where large-scale Salt Evaporators and extensive tailings piles indicate the heavy resource extraction near the Salt Lake City Corporate Boundary.
