2023 Map of Floating Island SW
USGS Topo · Published 2023About this map
The expansive Great Salt Lake Desert dominates this landscape, revealing the stark and specialized terrain of western Tooele County. Within this vast, open environment, the northwest corner identifies a portion of the Bonneville Salt Flats, a globally recognized geologic feature formed by the evaporation of ancient Lake Bonneville. The map illustrates the extreme flatness and uniform character of the region, where the Public Land Survey System grid sections stretch across the playa without the interruption of roads or permanent settlements. This 2023 survey serves as a modern baseline for one of the most distinctive physiographic provinces in the American West, capturing the interface where the salt crust meets the broader desert basin.
