2011 Map of Farnsworth Peak

About this map

Great Salt Lake dominates the northern reaches of this map, where the shoreline is defined by infrastructure and recreation. Industrial operations are prominent near the lake, evidenced by the Kennecott Tailings Pond Number One Dam and Kennecott Tailings Pond Number Two Dam near the settlements of Garfield and Arthur. The southern terrain rises sharply into the Oquirrh Mountains, marked by significant summits like Farnsworth Peak and Kesler Peak. This landscape is heavily dissected by numerous canyons, including the Left Hand Fork Coon Canyon and Right Hand Fork Coon Canyon. Between the mountains and the shore, historical landmarks such as Black Rock and the Silver Sands Beach viewpoint offer a glimpse into the early 21st-century character of this transition zone between industrial development and the lake's edge.
