About this map

Great Salt Lake dominates this 2014 survey, illustrating the stark interface between the expansive waters of Gunnison Bay and the steep eastern shoreline of Box Elder County. The terrain is defined by the southern reaches of the Promontory Mountains, which rise sharply from the water's edge. Notable topographic features along this narrow coastal strip include the drainage of Miller Canyon and the relatively level ground of Squaw Flat.

The map provides a detailed view of the shoreline as it existed in the early 21st century, showing the Indian Cove indentation and the designated Ship Channel further south. This area, largely defined by the Great Salt Lake's shifting water levels, highlights the rugged and undeveloped nature of the Promontory peninsula. The survey meticulously tracks the elevation contours and natural landforms of the shoreline, capturing the relationship between the salt-rich waters and the rocky uplands of northern Utah.
