1991 Map of Gunnison Island SW

About this map

Great Salt Lake dominates this western Utah landscape, where the waters of Gunnison Bay and Clyman Bay meet along a shifting shoreline. The map reveals the stark topography of the region, emphasizing the fluctuating levels of the lake with bathymetric contours that delineate the underwater depths and the expansive reaches of Mud flats along the southern margins. This 1991 revision, based on aerial photography from the 1960s and 1980s, captures the dramatic variations in the water's edge, including the historic high-water elevation recorded at 4212 feet. The absence of roads or structures underscores the remote and environmental character of this section of Box Elder County, focusing entirely on the interaction between the saline waters and the surrounding desert floor.
