About this map

Hogup sits on the western edge of the Great Salt Lake's desolate basin, serving as a primary point of reference for this arid stretch of Box Elder County. The landscape is defined by its isolation and the stark boundary between salt flats and the rising terrain of the Hogup Mountains and Broom Mountain. Much of the quadrangle is dominated by the expansive Fremont Strait, a significant arm of the lake that separates the mainland from the unique landform known as The Fingerpoint.

Navigating this remote corridor is primarily possible via the Hogup Mountain Rd, which traces the eastern flank of the Hogup Ridge. This 2011 survey documents the intersection of geology and hydrology in a region where the shoreline of the Great Salt Lake frequently shifts, influencing the accessibility of these named landmarks. For researchers, the map provides a clear picture of the primitive road networks and the high-desert topography that characterize this part of northern Utah.
