2011 Map of Indian Cove

About this map

Great Salt Lake dominates this landscape, with the vast waters of Gunnison Bay occupying the majority of the quadrangle. This 2011 survey illustrates the stark meeting of the northern lake waters and the arid eastern coastline of the Promontory peninsula. Along this shoreline, Indian Cove and Rozel Bay define the transition from water to the upland terrain of the Promontory Mountains. The geography is characterized by its relative emptiness, where geological formations and hydrology take precedence over human development. In the northeastern corner, the elevation rises sharply through Miller Canyon and across the level expanse of Squaw Flat, providing a clear look at the topographic profile of this isolated stretch of Box Elder County.
