1973 Map of Floating Island NE

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Hill Air Force Range occupies a vast portion of this 1970s orthophotomap, illustrating the intersection of military operations and the stark Great Salt Lake Desert. The terrain is characterized by an expansive Mud Flat, a landscape that appears as a textured, nearly featureless expanse on this photographic survey. Rising abruptly from these saline flats is Floating Island, a distinct geological formation that serves as the map's primary landmark. Spanning the boundary between Box Elder Co and Tooele Co, the sheet provides a specialized view of this remote basin during a period of active military land use. The orthophoto format offers researchers a precise visual record of the ground surface, showing the subtle variations in the salt and mud deposits that define this unique Utah landscape.
