The Bonneville Salt Flats dominate this landscape, providing the famously level surface that has hosted decades of land speed record attempts within the Great Salt Lake Desert. This 2014 survey captures the precise layout of the Bonneville Racetrack and the Hot Rod Track, world-renowned corridors of speed etched onto the crust of the prehistoric lakebed. To the northwest, the Silver Island Mountains rise abruptly from the flats at Silver Island, offering a sharp vertical contrast to the expansive white basin below. The map identifies specific operational segments of the facility, including the International Racetrack and its dedicated International Racetrack Overrun, marking the infrastructure required for the most extreme velocities reached in motorized sports.
