2011 Map of Carrington Island NW

About this map

Great Salt Lake dominates this 2011 survey, illustrating the expansive and fluid landscape of northern Utah. The map specifically highlights the transition between Gunnison Bay and Gilbert Bay, providing a clear view of the open water and shoreline dynamics at this specific point in time. The settlement of Midlake is located on a narrow corridor traversing the lake, representing the critical transportation infrastructure that spans this watery environment. This sheet is primarily a study of the interaction between the saline lake and the few human footprints established within its reach. It serves as a precise record of water levels and coastal features before the more recent fluctuations in the lake’s elevation, making it a valuable tool for understanding the environmental geography of the Great Salt Lake Basin.
