1991 Map of Lake Side

About this map

Lakeside serves as a critical rail and communications node along the southern edge of Gunnison Bay, positioned where the historic Lucin Cutoff strikes across the waters of the Great Salt Lake. This 1991 revision illustrates the complex relationship between industrial infrastructure and the unforgiving desert terrain of the Lakeside Mountains. The map details the operations of the Utah Test and Training Range, which occupies the desolate Sedal Valley and North Valley to the south. Notable geological and navigational landmarks such as Lakeside Butte and the curiously named Aardvark Arch provide orientation in a landscape defined by sharp ridges like Death Ridge and the cluster of peaks known as The Gillespies. Small-scale extraction is evident through scattered quarry and prospect labels near the shoreline.
