1955 Map of Burmester

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

The edge of the Great Salt Lake meets the northern end of the Tooele Valley in this mid-century topographical study. The landscape is defined by the transition from the expansive Salt Flat and Coyote Knolls to the water-rich agricultural lands further south. The settlement of Burmester serves as a critical junction, situated where the Western Pacific railroad cuts through the terrain. A complex network of water features indicates a reliance on groundwater and local runoff, with numerous Artesian Wells and reservoirs supporting the Willow Fields area. The presence of Warm Springs Slough, Cooleys Slough, and Blue Lakes suggests a marshy, low-lying environment at the base of the valley. Local transportation is represented by historical thoroughfares like Burmester Road and Cooley Lane, which define the rural grid near the Grantsville City Bdy.
