2014 Map of Hogup Ridge North

About this map

Hogup and the surrounding desert landscape of Box Elder County are defined by the stark transition between the elevated terrain of Hogup Ridge and the expansive waters of the Great Salt Lake. This 2014 survey captures the remote geography of Gunnison Bay, where the shoreline meets the low-lying flats. Significant infrastructure projects are prominent in the southern portion of the map, including the Southern Pacific Causeway and the Rio Buenaventura Canal, which trace across the salt-encrusted landscape. To the north, topographic landmarks such as Broom Mtn and The Fingerpoint rise above the basin. The presence of Hogup Bypass Rd underscores the limited but vital transit routes through this arid region, providing a detailed look at the modern land management and hydrological features of the northwestern Great Salt Lake area.
