About this map

Lakeside and Tresend sit along the western edge of the Great Salt Lake, marking a point of transition between the saline water and the rising elevations of the Lakeside Mountains. This 2011 survey documents the shoreline where Gunnison Bay and Gilbert Bay meet, a landscape defined by sharp topographical features such as Lakeside Butte and the complex terrain of The Gillespies.

A network of passes and ridges, including Fixit Pass, Gillespie Pass, and Death Ridge, suggests the difficulty of travel through this arid environment. Geographic landmarks like Aardvark Arch and the Sand Bar near Cave Ridge highlight the erosional forces at work in this part of Box Elder County. The map provides a detailed view of the infrastructure and natural landforms that characterize this remote lakeshore corridor during the early 21st century.
