2011 Map of Carrington Island NE

About this map

The vast expanse of the Great Salt Lake dominates this 2011 survey, illustrating the unique hydrologic division of the Utah landmark. The map focuses on the watery transition between Gunnison Bay to the north and Gilbert Bay to the south. This division is physically defined by a prominent bridge-supported causeway that cuts horizontally across the water, a critical piece of infrastructure for transportation across the salt-heavy lake. The stark landscape shown here is primarily aquatic, highlighting the environmental scale of Box Elder County’s portion of the lake and the precise boundary established by the railroad infrastructure spanning the bays.
