About this map

The Promontory Mountains meet the northern waters of the Great Salt Lake in this coastal survey of Box Elder County. The shoreline is defined by the recession of the lake, revealing broad flats and inlets like Indian Cove and the expansive Rozel Bay. Terrain features such as Miller Canyon and Squaw Flat highlight the elevation changes where the mountains descend sharply to the water's edge.

A notable element of the maritime landscape is the Ship Channel, located in the southern portion of the sheet. This feature underscores the historical navigation required to transit these shallow waters, which are prone to significant fluctuations in level. The lack of built infrastructure reflects the isolation of this corner of the Promontory Peninsula, preserved here through precise topographical mapping of its salt-rimmed margins.
