1968 Map of Indian Cove

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Great Salt Lake dominates this orthophotomap, which utilizes aerial imagery from the late 1960s to document the fluctuating shoreline of Indian Cove. The map records a specific hydrological moment, noting an elevation of 4193 feet in late 1966. Along the eastern edge, the topography rises sharply away from the Mud Flat into the Promontory Mountains, where drainage features like Miller Canyon and landmarks such as the Indian Caves are clearly visible. The southern portion of the sheet reveals the Ship Channel, a critical navigational feature for the industrial and recreational use of the lake. This transition from open water to shoreline is marked only by a few miles of unimproved dirt roads, highlighting the isolation of this stretch of Box Elder County during the period.
