1991 Map of Carrington Island NE

About this map

Gunnison Bay and Gilbert Bay meet in this 1991 survey of the northern Great Salt Lake, where the industrial legacy of the Southern Pacific Railroad dominates the aquatic landscape. The Lucin Cutoff forms a prominent east-west line across the water, including a central Bridge and sections marked as Abandoned. This engineering feat fundamentally altered the lake's hydrology, creating distinct brine environments on either side of the causeway. The map also delineates a Ship Channel to the north and notes the lake's elevation at 4200 feet, providing a technical snapshot of the shoreline and maritime infrastructure before further modern shifts in lake levels. This edition was compiled from 1966 aerial photography with revisions from 1987, documenting the persistent footprint of the railroad in a landscape defined by salt and water.
