2020 Map of Floating Island NE
USGS Topo · Published 2020About this map
Great Salt Lake Desert dominates this Tooele County landscape, revealing an environment shaped by industrial-scale salt management and water containment. The western edge of the sheet features Floating Island, a distinct geological landmark rising above the surrounding basin. This area is heavily utilized for salt production, specifically within the Newfoundland Evaporation Basin, which occupies the central and southern portions of the map. Access to this remote industrial zone is traced via the Floating Island Dike Rd, a thoroughfare that navigates the engineered landscape of the salt flats. The map illustrates the geometric layout of evaporation ponds and dikes essential to the region's mineral extraction economy during the early 21st century.
