1991 Map of Bovine SE

About this map

The Newfoundland Evaporation Basin dominates this arid landscape in Box Elder County, showing the specialized industrial use of the Great Salt Lake desert in the early 1990s. This survey focuses on the infrastructure of salt and mineral extraction, with an Aqueduct and several Flowing Wells supporting operations across the extensive Mud flats. A primary transportation artery, the Lucin Cutoff, traverses the central part of the map, serving as both a rail line and a private road system. The sparse placement of benchmarks such as BM 4217 and BM 4219 highlights the extreme flatness and low elevation of the terrain, which sits at approximately 4,200 feet. This document is a valuable record of the hydrological management and industrial transport corridors that define this remote corner of Utah.
