About this map

The Newfoundland Evaporation Basin dominates this landscape in Box Elder County, showing the specialized industrial land use characteristic of the Great Salt Lake Desert. The basin floor is bordered by the dramatic rises of the Newfoundland Mountains to the south and the Hogup Mountains to the northeast. Transportation through this arid region is defined by functional access routes, including Railroad Siding Rd which runs parallel to the rail corridor crossing the basin, and Indian Cave Acc near the northern mountains. This modern survey illustrates the intersection of vast geological formations and the human infrastructure required to navigate and utilize the salt flats.
