Great Salt Lake dominates the eastern edge of this coastal landscape, where the shifting shoreline meets the Alkali or Mud flats of the northern Tooele Valley. The settlement of Burmester serves as a small hub between the industrial Salt Evaporators and the extensive Western Pacific railroad line that cuts across the salt plains. The map reveals an intricate network of water management and resource extraction, evidenced by numerous Borrow Pits and several Flowing Wells dotting the valley floor.
