2017 Map of Carrington Island NE

About this map

Southern Pacific Causeway cuts across the northern reaches of the Great Salt Lake on this 2017 survey of Box Elder County. This industrial landmark represents the primary human intervention in an otherwise aquatic landscape, separating the brine-rich waters and providing a critical rail corridor through the lake. To the north, the Ship Channel is visible, indicating the designated maritime passage within these shallow waters. This map is a stark representation of the intersection between massive engineering projects and the unique hydrology of Utah's Great Basin.
