2023 Map of Indian Cove

About this map

The Great Salt Lake dominates this coastal landscape in Box Elder County, where the desert waters meet the steep western slopes of the Promontory Mountains. This area is characterized by dramatic topographic shifts, transitioning from the wide expanse of Rozel Bay and the shoreline at Indian Cove up into the high-elevation terrain of Miller Canyon. A notable aspect of the shoreline hydrology is the Ship Channel located at the southern edge of the survey, indicating specific pathways through the shallow, saline waters. The map provides a precise view of the interface between the lake’s fluctuating levels and the fixed mountain ridges, capturing a moment of contemporary geography in this sparsely settled region of northern Utah.
