2020 Map of Floating Island SE
USGS Topo · Published 2020About this map
The Great Salt Lake Desert dominates this landscape, reflecting the stark geography of Tooele County. This 2020 survey documents a transition zone within the desert floor, where the Newfoundland Evaporation Basin marks a significant hydrological and industrial feature of the region. The map reveals the intricate grid of the Public Land Survey System overlaying this flat, expansive terrain, which is primarily accessed via the Floating Island Dike Rd. This road serves as a vital artery through the desolate surroundings, providing a rare point of orientation in an otherwise featureless expanse. The interplay of evaporation basins and desert flats illustrates the specialized land use characteristic of the western salt flats in the early twenty-first century.
