2011 Map of Crocodile Mountain SE

About this map

Great Salt Lake dominates this Utah landscape, where the shifting shoreline meets the eastern edges of the Hogup Mountains. This 2011 survey by the U. S. Geological Survey illustrates a stark transition from the mountainous terrain in the west to the expansive salt flats and water of the lake. Transport across this arid region is facilitated by the Hogup Mountain Rd, which skirts the base of the range, and a solitary County Rd that pushes eastward toward the lake’s edge. The lack of named settlements or structures emphasizes the remote, unpopulated character of this portion of Box Elder County, where the topography is primarily defined by the intersection of mountain slopes and terminal lake basins.
