2023 Map of Floating Island SE

About this map

The Great Salt Lake Desert dominates this arid landscape in Tooele County, representing a specialized environment of industrial and military utility. The map details the Newfoundland Evaporation Basin, a large-scale hydrological feature designed for brine management. This area is heavily defined by government land use, with much of the northern territory falling within the Utah Test and Training Range. Access across the expansive salt flats is restricted to a few established corridors, most notably Floating Island Dike Rd, which provides a traversable path through the otherwise featureless terrain. The presence of these dikes and evaporation basins highlights the intersection of military operations and salt-resource management in the Utah desert.
