2011 Map of Burmester

About this map

Great Salt Lake dominates the northern reaches of this landscape, its waters meeting the mainland at Fremont Strait. The settlement of Burmester sits at a critical junction in the Tooele Valley, positioned where the infrastructure of Frontage Rd and Burmester Rd navigate a complex hydrologic network. The terrain is defined by its transition from high-desert features like Coyote Knolls and Dead Man Gulch to the saturated lowlands of Warm Springs Slough and Cooleys Slough. These wetland areas, including the Willow Fields and Blue Lakes, indicate a delicate environmental balance between the arid valley floor and the brackish influence of the lake. Local infrastructure like Higley Rd and Meadow Ln provide access to these scattered water features and the alluvial plains of Sixmile Creek.
