1991 Map of Crocodile Mtn SE

About this map

Gunnison Bay and the extensive Mud flats of the northern Great Salt Lake dominate this high-desert landscape in northwestern Utah. The survey details a specialized environment where the water level of the lake meets the arid foothills of the Hogup Mts and the distinct peak of Crocodile Mtn. This geography reveals the dramatic fluctuations of the Great Salt Lake shoreline, with supplementary contour intervals documenting the low-lying terrain. Human presence is sparse, limited to a single Gravel Pit and scattered benchmarks that mark the transition from the salt-crusted lakebed to the rocky elevations. The inclusion of Spring (Salt) provides a critical point of reference in an area otherwise defined by its briny waters and expansive mud flats.
