2014 Map of Carrington Island NE

About this map

The Great Salt Lake dominates this 2014 survey, illustrating the stark aquatic geography of Box Elder County. The most prominent human intervention is the Southern Pacific Causeway, which cuts a straight line east to west across the northern portion of the sheet. This massive infrastructure project creates a distinct hydrologic division between the hypersaline waters of Gunnison Bay to the north and the relatively less saline Gilbert Bay to the south. A single Bridge is noted along the causeway, facilitating limited movement between these two distinct sections of the lake. The map also identifies the Ship Channel, a critical navigation feature within this expansive inland sea, highlighting the intersection of industrial transport and the natural environment of northern Utah.
