2014 Map of Hogup Ridge South

About this map

Hogup Ridge rises from the salt flats of Box Elder County in this 2014 topographic study. This map captures a remote section of the Great Salt Lake desert, where the elevation reaches a peak at Hogup Point. The northern portion of the quadrangle is defined by the Southern Pacific Causeway, a significant engineering corridor that traverses the northern reaches of the lake. To the southeast, the terrain transitions into a region labeled The Threshold, illustrating the stark and isolated landscape of western Utah. The map primarily documents the natural topography and large-scale infrastructure rather than residential settlements, providing a clear record of the region's physical geography and the path of the transcontinental rail route.
