2020 Map of Big Pass
USGS Topo · Published 2020About this map
The Newfoundland Mountains dominate the eastern half of this terrain, rising sharply above the stark landscape of the west. To the west lies the Newfoundland Evaporation Basin, a prominent feature of the Great Salt Lake Desert region. This 2020 survey illustrates the transition from the high, craggy peaks of the range to the expansive flats of the basin floor. A critical geographical corridor, Big Pass, provides a natural break in the mountain chain, serving as a historical waypoint for navigation through this arid part of Northern Utah. While the map primarily covers Tooele County, it also tracks the northern boundary of Box Elder Co, marking the jurisdictional intersection in this sparsely populated desert environment.
