2014 Map of Lake Ridge

About this map

Lake Ridge dominates the central elevation of this Box Elder County terrain, overlooking the low-lying expanse of the Great Salt Lake to the southwest. The geography is defined by the stark contrast between the elevated ridge and the level drainage of Salt Wells Flat. To the south, the settlement of Cedar Springs is situated near the natural water source of Cedar Spring, marking a point of human activity in an otherwise sparse landscape. Transport through this portion of the Great Basin relies on established corridors like Salt Wells Rd and Hansel Valley Rd, which navigate the contours between the high ridges and the marshy edges of Spring Bay. This survey illustrates the relationship between reliable water sources and settlement patterns in the arid environment of northern Utah.
