1991 Map of Indian Cove

About this map

The eastern shores of Gunnison Bay meet the steep western face of the Promontory Mountains in this late-twentieth-century study of the Utah shoreline. This specific stretch of the Great Salt Lake is defined by the recession and rise of the waterline, where the Indian Cove and Rozel Bay inlets shape the jagged coast. Landforms like Squaw Flat and Miller Canyon provide a stark contrast to the expansive salt flats and water-bound terrain below. Of particular interest to local historians are the Indian Caves, located along the base of the mountains just above the bay. The map also identifies specific hydrological features such as a Spring (Salt) and the Ship Channel, indicating the area's navigational and natural history near the Promontory peninsula.
