2010 Map of Floating Island NE

About this map

Bonneville Dike stands as the primary human-made feature in this expanse of Tooele County, representing the intersection of modern infrastructure and the Great Salt Lake Desert. The Usgs 2010 survey focuses on a remarkably flat and unpopulated landscape, where the vast salt flats are the defining characteristic. This area is historically significant as part of the prehistoric Lake Bonneville basin, and the map provides a precise look at the terrain as it appeared in the early 21st century. The isolation of the region is evident in the lack of settlements, schools, or churches, making the presence of the dike a singular point of interest for those studying the land management and transport corridors across the desert floor.
