2017 Map of Floating Island SE

About this map

Great Salt Lake Desert dominates this landscape in western Utah, revealing a terrain defined by its extreme isolation and the remnants of prehistoric water bodies. The northern portion of the map is punctuated by the Newfoundland Evaporation Basin, a feature that illustrates the modern industrial intersection with this otherwise desolate salt flat. The map serves as a record of the Public Land Survey System, showing the alignment of townships and ranges such as t1n r15w and t1s r16w across the vast, flat expanse. The lack of settlements or roads underscores the environmental severity of this region, where the primary topographic variations are found in the subtle contours of the evaporation works and the open desert flats.
