Great Salt Lake Desert dominates this 2017 survey of Tooele County, Utah, providing a detailed record of the vast, arid interior of the eastern Great Basin. The map focuses on the desolate landscape within the Public Land Survey System grids of t4s r18w, t4s r17w, t5s r18w, and t5s r17w. This specific quadrangle captures the starkness of the salt flats before any modern encroachment, illustrating the section lines and township boundaries that define land ownership in this remote region. While largely devoid of settlements or industrial infrastructure, the map serves as an essential spatial baseline for understanding the topography and hydrography of one of the most distinctive geological environments in the American West.
