The Silver Island Mountains dominate the western edge of this landscape, where the distinct landform of Crater Island rises above the surrounding flats. This 2017 survey reveals a stark, hydrologically unique environment on the edge of the Great Salt Lake desert, defined by the extensive Newfoundland Evaporation Basin to the east. The terrain is marked by the drainage patterns of Miry Wash, while the lone thoroughfare, Crater Island Rd, provides the primary access route through this desolate region. The map captures the interface between these mountainous outcrops and the vast, flat basins that characterize this portion of Tooele County.
