About this map

Fremont Island rises from the waters of the Great Salt Lake, serving as a central landmark in this 1991 survey of the northern lake bed. The island's topography is defined by prominent heights like Beacon Hill and David E Miller Hill, while its southern edge reveals evidence of human history at Ruins Graves. These features suggest a legacy of isolated habitation or seasonal use amidst the surrounding brine.

Industry and conservation frame the island's watery environment. To the north, the Lucin Cutoff railroad causeway and the Bear River Bridge span the expanse of Bear River Bay. Along the eastern shore, the transition from military and industrial use is evident at the Air Force Training Annex and large-scale Salt Evaporators, contrasted by the protected wetlands of the Ogden Bay State Waterfowl Management Area.
