Great Salt Lake and the marshy expanses of Bear River Bay define the eastern edge of this terrain where the Bear River meets the salt flats. The map documents a landscape of dramatic transitions, from the saline mud of the Bear River National Migratory Bird Refuge to the steep eastern slopes of the Promontory Mountains. The small settlement of East Promontory sits near the head of Messix Canyon, serving as a focal point for a region primarily defined by its hydrology.
