1955 Map of Fremont Island

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Fremont Island dominates this mid-century survey, rising from the waters of the Great Salt Lake between the boundaries of Box Elder, Weber, and Davis counties. The island's topography is defined by high points like Beacon Hill and Castle Rock, with the southern reaches showing evidence of past habitation through markers for Ruins and Graves. To the north, the Southern Pacific railroad cuts directly across the Bear River Bay on a long causeway, passing the isolated station point at Bagley. The shoreline near Little Mountain reveals the saline landscape of the Salt Flat and the protected marshes of the Ogden Bay Refuge. This survey captures the island in a period of relative isolation, providing a detailed record of its interior features like Circle Valley and various springs before more modern alterations to the lake's hydrology.
