Great Salt Lake dominates this 2023 survey of the remote western shoreline in Box Elder County. The map focuses on the eastern edge of Dolphin Island, a distinctive landform that, depending on fluctuating water levels, appears as an island or a peninsula within the salt desert. The terrain data provided by the National Elevation Dataset in 2018 reveals the subtle bathymetry and shoreline contours of this unique terminal lake environment. The lack of roads or infrastructure on this sheet emphasizes the desolate nature of the Great Salt Lake Desert, where the landscape is defined entirely by the interaction between the water and the arid topography of the Great Basin.
