2014 Map of Knolls

About this map

Great Salt Lake Desert dominates this arid landscape, showing the stark salt flats and minimal terrain variations of the Tooele County interior. The small settlement of Knolls serves as the primary waypoint in this expanse, positioned alongside the critical transportation corridor of Interstate 80 and its associated Frontage Rd. The map illustrates the geometric precision of the Public Land Survey System, with township and range lines like t1s r13w and t2s r13w dividing the basin. This survey provides a technical look at how infrastructure traverses one of the most famously desolate environments in the United States, where the high-speed transit of the interstate contrasts with the vast, open silence of the salt flats.
