Gunnison Island and its smaller neighbor Cub Island rise from the northwest waters of the Great Salt Lake in this 2020 study of Box Elder County. The terrain of the larger island is defined by a series of distinct indentations and coves, including Pelican Bay, Lambourne Bay, and Seagull Bay. Located in a secluded reach of the lake, these landmasses represent an isolated environment where the land meets high-salinity waters at Phantom Bay and South Bay. This modern topographic record captures the exact shoreline and contour elevations of these remote islands, providing a precise baseline for understanding the fluctuating levels of the surrounding desert sea.
