2014 Map of Lemay

About this map

Lemay and Newfoundland sit along the central railway corridor crossing the expansive salt flats of Box Elder County. This 2014 survey captures a landscape dominated by industrial-scale mineral extraction and isolation, specifically the Newfoundland Evaporation Basin which occupies the southern portion of the quadrangle. The terrain is strikingly flat, interrupted only at the southeastern corner by the rising slopes of the Newfoundland Mountains. This specific geography highlights the region's historical and modern reliance on the Great Salt Lake's terminal basin for commercial evaporation and transportation logistics, where the railroad serves as the primary tether to the rest of the state.
