1979 Map of Bonneville Salt Flats

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The Great Salt Lake Desert dominates this 1979 survey, revealing a landscape defined by extreme geography and industrial extraction. The Bonneville Salt Flats serve as a focal point, featuring the famous Bonneville International Race Track and a nearby landing strip. Along the western edge, massive salt evaporator ponds indicate the scale of mineral harvesting in the region. The map also documents the high-desert transit corridor, where the Western Pacific railroad and highway run parallel across the expansive Mud Flat, connecting isolated outposts like Salduro, Barro, Clive, and Aragonite. Cultural history is anchored by the Danger Cave State Historical Monument near the Silver Island Mountains. Much of the interior is dedicated to military use, divided between the Hill Air Force Range and the Wendover Air Force Range.
