2017 Map of Floating Island SW
USGS Topo · Published 2017About this map
The Bonneville Salt Flats dominate this landscape, showcasing the famously level terrain of the Great Salt Lake Desert. This specific area in Tooele County captures a segment of the legendary International Racetrack, where the unique evaporative environment provides one of the flattest surfaces on earth for high-speed trials. The grid is defined by the Public Land Survey System, showing the boundaries between various townships such as t2n r17w and t1n r16w. Far from the typical settlement patterns of the American West, the map reveals a space defined almost entirely by its geology and its specialized role in automotive history, with few permanent structures or roads outside of the racing area.
