1968 Map of Carrington Island SW

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Great Salt Lake dominates this orthophotomap, showing the expansive water body and its shoreline transition as it appeared in the late 1960s. The map presents a stark, high-contrast aerial view of the saline environment, documenting a recorded elevation of 4193 feet from November 1966. Along the eastern and southern margins, the characteristic Mud Flat terrain is visible where the water recedes, illustrating the shallow, shifting nature of the lake bed. A notable administrative detail is the Indefinite Boundary marking the division between Box Elder Co and Tooele Co, which runs across the open water and exposed flats. This document reflects a specific hydrological moment in the lake's history, captured through aerial photography and soundings before modern water level fluctuations significantly altered the visible shoreline.
