2023 Map of Jackson

About this map

Pigeon Mtn rises above the expansive salt flats and wetlands of western Box Elder County, defining the western edge of this desert landscape. This 2023 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey details a remote region of the Great Salt Lake Desert where the Little Pigeon Mountains stand as a primary landmark. The terrain is marked by the vast, low-lying basins typical of the eastern Great Basin, with significant wetland areas captured by the National Wetlands Inventory. Infrastructure is minimal, consisting primarily of the Little Pigeon Rd winding through the southern portion of the quadrangle. This map provides a contemporary record of the shifting boundaries between dry desert floor and seasonal marshland, useful for environmental researchers and those tracking geographic changes in this uninhabited stretch of Utah.
