1991 Map of Gunnison Island

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

Gunnison Island State Wildlife Management Area dominates the western portion of this survey, protecting a critical sanctuary within the hypersaline waters of Great Salt Lake. This isolated landmass, along with the smaller Cub Island, provides a specialized habitat for migratory birds, as evidenced by the series of inlets named for local fauna and early explorers. The map details the intricate shoreline of the island, including Phantom Bay, Pelican Bay, and Seagull Bay to the west, and Lambourne Bay to the east. Located within the larger Gunnison Bay, the area is defined by the 4200-foot elevation mark, illustrating the fluctuating shoreline characteristic of this high-desert lake system in the early 1990s.
