2017 Map of Floating Island NE
USGS Topo · Published 2017About this map
Great Salt Lake Desert dominates this Tooele County landscape, where the stark topography of the basin is interrupted by the isolated landform of Floating Island. This terrain reflects the region's complex hydrological and industrial history, notably the presence of the Newfoundland Evaporation Basin, which occupies a significant portion of the western flats. The engineering of the desert is further evidenced by the Floating Island Dike Rd, a route providing access through the otherwise inhospitable salt flats. The map details the precise Public Land Survey System divisions, including Township 2 and 3 North and Ranges 15 and 16 West, illustrating the systematic grid imposed upon this arid section of the Great Basin.
